As the year winds down, many of us start taking inventory—what went right, what went wrong, and what we wish we’d done differently. In today’s Texan Edge, Tweed Scott reflects on something Texas has always understood well: grace—not as an excuse, but as breathing room. 

Frontier Texans didn’t survive by being perfect. They survived by learning, forgiving themselves, and moving forward anyway. This episode is a reminder that reflection doesn’t have to turn into self-punishment—and that growth doesn’t require erasing who you were. 

A thoughtful, end-of-year moment about wisdom, resilience, and carrying forward what truly matters.

Reflection Question:
Instead of asking “Did I do everything right?”—what if you asked, “What did I learn that will serve me tomorrow?”
