I think “and” is a cool word.
It doesn’t negate.
It connects two things.
That makes our little word “and” an inclusive networker.
I keep it close around.
I make it do it’s magic for me then I put it away for a while.
It often makes me feel good.
Like, “Today is certainly a butt kicker and at the same time I can remind myself of all the amazing cool people I work with.”
Magic.
Or maybe, “So and so drives me crazy at times and I can also see where they’re coming from“.
I love this word.
How about, “I’m really going through some challenges, and I feel that I’m getting stronger.”
And, and, and.
A small and mighty word to be sure.
