Today is February 6th. Yesterday was the first time that I forgot to take a photo. This morning I felt like a failure.

I am not a failure.

Thus far, I've put a lot of gratitude into this blog for the awesome human beings who have touched my life and the amazing things that I get to learn from them and experience with them. I've also been grateful for myself and who am I am today.

This morning I woke up and started to freak the frack out because I realized that I had failed my challenge. I forgot to take a photo yesterday. It was over.

But it would only be over if I made it so--if I gave up because of a hiccup. It took being reminded by a sweet, calm, and caring man, but I realized that I would never be so harsh on someone else. I would never tell them that they had failed because of one small screw-up in a big, awesome endeavour. The picture is always bigger than that. So I will keep going because I respect and love myself as I do others. I will keep trying and keep creating and I will screw up again and that is okay. It's okay because the picture is bigger than this small, missing piece. I can fill it in with forgiveness.

I have filled it in with forgiveness (see? It's up there!).

I hope you can fill it in too..whatever your missing piece may be.
