A week ago, there was still snow on the ground. Half the city was with out power and water and life felt like it was standing still. A week later, no snow, power and water restored to most and it feels like we have finally fallen back into routine. The boys made it though another week of distance learning. They got a snow week and now there is one week till spring break. Spring Break. It will always be where this all started. A friend of mine calls it the great pause. I like that.
Life has been coming in waves. Things are calm and quiet for a while then they pick up and knock me around a little bit. And then just when I think I might lose my mind, smooth as glass. I have been working really hard to stay balanced and calm. Yesterday was a challenge but Im feeling it today. Maybe just because its Friday but I feel better than I have felt in years. Like 20. I feel relaxed. Somedays borderline just not giving a damn, but in a good way. I am happy. And it feels good.
While I usually am just waiting for the other shoe to drop, Im going to just sit in this and enjoy it instead. I struggle with feeling guilty for feeling good when there is so much bad in the world. Like really struggle. But for today, because its Friday and we all know Fridays around here are about happiness, Im going to share it. And Id love to hear what made y'all happy too!
