This essay was kismet for me! This morning I started to get bogged down in making plans I didn’t need to make just yet, but then I read this and decided it’s time to enjoy the present. Thanks for the push to enjoy the snacks and decorate the hallway :)
Born on the second day of April (I know, I’ve heard all the April Fool’s jokes ever been made, sooo…. ) I felt ever bit of this. I hate not having “permission” to power down at 5pm … or at least until the sun goes down… it’s the uncertainty, the leaving behind the comfortable… a birthday at the beginning of the cruelest month leaves me the whole month to ponder that I am running out of time to become a butterfly, probably only as many years as I can count on my hands at this point… and a whole society geared up to strip me of as much of me as it can before I become nothing, all the while fighting desperately against becoming nothing … terrifying… until it isn’t… probably…
Lovely essay. Doesn’t it seem like all of life’s lessons really just come down to enjoying the present moment? Wish we could learn to do that easier. 😊
What a beautiful post and beautiful reminder. What a gift you are. How amazing it is to receive posts like this from a genuine, caring person who is constantly looking to make people's experiences better. Thanks for this. happy spring
