My kid is about to do something that is a big deal. She’ll be pushed way out of her comfort zone. She’s nervous and I’m so proud of her.
I also resonate with these quotes in my own story. So very much.
This Day in 2018:
O v e r w h e l m e d. But so grateful.
To say I’m overwhelmed would be an understatement. Chris and I were talking through our week ahead earlier today and we both had a moment where we wanted to cry because life is so full.
And again, I sit in the tension of feeling completely overwhelmed while holding such gratitude that we have the blessing of a full life.
Two kids in high school. Three kids in sports. Three kids requiring physicals, eye appointments, dentist appointments… Three kids needing school supplies. One kid taking a drivers test in a couple of weeks. Camps, retreats, back to school nights and parent/player sport meetings. Two parents with full-time jobs. Two dogs. A basement repair. A house to re-carpet.
It is truly amazing that we GET to do all of these things.
We also fit in chemo. And surgeries. And pre-op appointments. And post-op appointments. And follow-up testing appointments.
o v e r w h e l m e d.
And grateful.
(But chemo tomorrow. Blech.)
This Day in 2019:
Time-stand-still
Wow. I’m happily exhausted. What a crazy start to our vacation. We’ve spent countless hours on our feet, thousands of steps walked, hundreds of miles driven across five states and so much laughter culminating into a multitude of memories seared into our souls.
And the best part – we get to spend the next week lake-side with nothing but more family time, more laughter, more memories and time-stand-still relaxation.
Glorious.
