Rest

I haven’t written much on here about anything happening in my life lately. Sometimes it just feels easier to keep things private until I can put them into words better and really explain them.

Nothing bad or difficult, mind you…quite the opposite. It’s just that I don’t believe in gray areas or half-assing anything. When I want to change something, I want to go all in, make a clean sweep, and sometimes that involves completely gutting something, emptying it all out, and starting over from scratch.

It’s left me feeling exhausted but satisfied, like finally climbing to the top of a steep hill and settling down for a moment to take a well-deserved rest, tired but peaceful. I’m not where I want to be just yet, but so much closer than I was at the beginning of the year, and I have no more doubts about my ability to get there. I will. I just want to reflect for a moment, appreciate the distance I have covered and the hurdles I have stumbled over, and look forward to where I am headed.

Then…it’s back to full speed ahead.

Home

My husband and I text each other like teenagers all day long, with everything from funny stories about our day to silly jokes to simple “I love you”s. Probably the most common text we send is some equivalent of wishing we could just go home and and hang together, so when I saw this the other day, I knew I had to send it to him:

We are trapped at work again today, but I am excited, because in a few hours, we will be heading home for a 4-day weekend. The 4th of July is my second favorite holiday (after Halloween, of course). I know the days are going to fly by insanely fast, but I intend to fully enjoy every second.
