Aly, thank you for dismantling the false dichotomy of grace and growth! It always surprises me how necessary an ingredient grace is in growth. In reflecting on your two lists, I wonder if we traditionally perceive "growth" as the external signs (i.e., above-the-surface), whereas grace comes from trusting that there are internal signs of growth (perhaps, to continue with this metaphor, deeper roots?). If so, I celebrate these less-visible signs of growth in you (e.g.., you didn't post last week and the sky didn't fall! Slash, I definitely didn't even notice!).
P.S. Grace/growth is another parallel to true/false projects, no?
P.P.S. Those broken crayons stubs are none of my business.
That reel. LOL. oh my god, so many things that I want to make not my business. I'm giving grace to my kids/me after school - watch the damn TV, eat the damn snacks, take a shower/don't shower, let's just care for each other so we can get through another school day!

"I am learning to care without being compulsive." What a good reminder; I will be repeating that to myself! And I loved that Hamilton reference.
