Food for thought. Found in the Armaid Newsletter: Good Enough by Terry M. Cross, HHP When you first hear the words good enough, you might think of just getting by or making do. Id like to take the other road of meaning... as good as I need it to be... as in, it is Good and it is Enough. While speaking with a friend over coffee, she said she was having second thoughts about her life. It wasnt what she thought it could be in all the ways she expected and desired, even though she has a loving partner, a meaningful occupation, and the admiration of the community. As we talked, the question of what constitutes enough in our lives became the subject. We realized there is some solace and peace in knowing that what we may have regarded as not good enough is actually just fine. Freeing our sense of enough from our habits of mind, opinions and expectations allows us to see what is sufficient and whole in our lives right now. After all, isnt a single small flower just as beautiful as a bouquet? In that moment, that flower... it shows the hearts intention, and it is enough. It is always worthwhile to ask yourself, honestly, Isnt this enough, just the way it is? There may be a few more moments of peace in your day when you allow the Good of the moment to be Enough, and let your heart and head rest.
