Mark balanced his weekly grocery haul in both arms as he fumbled for his keys. Suddenly, a carton of milk slipped, splashing all over the entryway. Mark closed his eyes and felt irritation simmer, but then, without meaning to, he started to laugh.
Neighbors peeked from their doors, and Mark greeted them with a shrug and a grin. Instead of feeling embarrassed, he decided to see the humor in his messy morning. Cleaning up the spill became an opportunity to chat with a neighbor, swapping stories about other kitchen disasters. By the time everything was cleaned up, Mark felt lighter—he had chosen grace over frustration, connection over isolation.
As he put away groceries, he realized just doing life meant allowing both smooth and rocky moments to pass through without shame or anxiety. Each day brought new spills, surprises, and laughter; embracing the rhythm brought him peace.
