What Are You Hoping For? | A Spot of Tea and a Dash of Hope (Part 2)

I've

also heard you talk about kind of like, like you can count like, oh, I had a good morning or I had a good, this part of whatever that quarter three was, you can like recover.

If you had a bad first two quarters, you have a whole new opportunity because you have a reset.

Yeah.

So it's kind of that idea that like, it's not over, you know, you have these, these more opportunities.

And I love that.

I love when you said that.

Yeah.

And it's the same as when everyone ever says, Robin, how are you? I always say parts are good because there will always be parts that are good, right? There are always parts, but there's also parts that are heavy and complicated.

And if I just say, oh, I'm good.

Right.

When somebody says, how are you? We say fine, tired, good, and busy.

And if somebody says like, how are you really? It's like, not so great, right? Some parts are tricky, right? So even just, so when somebody says, Robin, how are you? And I say, parts are solid.

It validates the fact that I still have these tricky parts.

There's still stuff I'm working on.

There's still things I'm trying to figure out.

And then all of a sudden my emotions that are trying to manage all that is like, great.

So when somebody says, how are you? And I'm like, I'm fine.

I have been sending you all these messages all day.

I have been interrupting your sleep, right? You're eating croutons like a food group, right? Like I am sending you data that says I am not okay.

And we're like, no, no, I'm good.

I'm fine, right? And so as soon as we're like, parts are good, right? And one of the little practices, it was funny, Ava reminded me that when they were little, we used to do this practice because I love words.

And we do a practice where I would say, unfortunately, we're running late today.
