do you ever put stuff off claiming to to wait until the next "big" event to get things done?
that's what i did with writing for a while. i'll wait until halloween. i'll wait until veteran's day. i'll wait until conferences. i'll wait until my next visit with the oncologist. it's a pretty good way to waste your time. i remember i was at kroger once around the holidays and the lady checking me out asked me how i was doing. oh i'm fine, i'll be better after this busy week is over though, i said to her. isn't it funny how we do that? she said. do what? wish our time away. hit me with the hard stuff, why don't ya, lady? just trying to buy my 5 dollar pinot! isn't it true though? we do wish our time away. always pushing through to the next "big" thing. putting stuff off along the way. i'm sorry. i abandoned you. and i'm really sorry. sometimes i spend so much time trying to catch myself up i forget to do the same here. so let me catch you up. my nuggets are insane. insanely smart. insanely silly. insanely sweet. i relish in the cool fall days made for cozy sweaters and warm hugs. i love when my kids come in from the bus in the morning and run into my arms because they're freezing. red noses. cold hands. the best. this week was a short week as we had a couple days off for an end of the quarter break. i decided to come home. i picked up marge at miami and we ate too much fried food and sang adele way too loudly all the way to wauwatosa. it never ceases to amaze me how much this place means to me. i feel so connected to this corner of the universe. the people. the smells. the sights. the coffee. when i come here i feel that it restores my soul. that's a pretty amazing feeling and a great blessing. i love doing normal every day things here. things i've done a million times but miss when i'm away. i'm so thankful for my home. the people and dogs who make it feel like the best place in the world. i hope everyone has a place that makes them feel that way. i hope you are well. i promise to write again soon. be kind to one another. and don't forget there's magic. xo, ld
