I’ve just begun rereading Anne Lamott’s book of essays, Small Victories: Spotting Improbable Moments of Grace, this time in audiobook format read by Anne herself. My heart keeps nodding yes!, yes!, yes! as Anne reads.
Today’s small victory lay in a favorable shift in energy that took me to my studio after avoiding a particularly frustrating and seemingly unsalvageable work-in-progress for a fortnight.
Today’s improbable moment of grace lay in seeing the mess I’d created as a chance to experiment with abandon—instead of feeling bedeviled, I suddenly embraced a devil-may-care spirit of cheerful recklessness.
