Much to my surprise, I haven’t used this title for a post before.
Why am I surprised? Because “leaving room” is something very important to me.
I think it’s important to leave room for:

- The possibility of change.
- The messiness of life.
- Our wishes to control all of the above (even when we can’t).
I think it’s important to leave room for all of it.*
In this post, I’m trying to leave room for my experience and for yours, too.
Question: I wonder how I am doing?
Answer: I think I’m doing well enough, so far.
