Entering the tunnel
Okay so I could have entitled this post TGIF – a title that I’m sure if you searched my blog would come up too many times to count. So let’s not say TGIF because really that is like saying I’m so glad this week is over and am I? Well, I am happy to be entering a slower pace than how this week started but wasn’t it exciting to be getting on a plane to New York? I’m glad to be entering a more relaxed zone of just having one thing to do not too many things, but truth is that I have my chores on the weekend no matter what – water the plants, laundry, etc.
Today I went downstairs because I had forgotten to pay the nanny and she had already left, but on my front porch stood a friend and her kids and Tin and they were playing up and down the stairs, it was 72 degrees outside, and the sun was shining on the bayou and I was wondering how the hell I had missed it – the day that is – this Friday that is ending the week of days that I have been racing through, breathlessly.
The fact is that a source of mine said to me that she picked her head up from her desk and saw it was January 28th and almost freaked out. Me too. But the past few weeks have been days that have been engaging, interesting, and joyful and so now I’m really sorry to see them go if I didn’t know better that the best is yet to come. So rather than enter the tunnel vision of formed behavior that would have me swinging from the rafters right now chanting TGIF, I’m going to say wow, what a week. I hope the rest of the year continues to provide so many opportunities to connect with friends, to learn more about my work, to hang out with Tin on the porch, and to look forward to a romantic dinner with my partner. Now that is something to be thankful for.
