Ch, ch, ch, changes....

Has it really been almost two months since I posted? Okay, don't really answer that. I am constantly humbled by my sweet friends that continue to check in on me during my periods of absence. I am filled with gratitude.

Where to begin? Oh yes, my baby went to kindergarten and I've wept like an idiot for the past month and my life has not been the same since. The end.

In all seriousness, I'm definitely in a place of transition. I wasn't really prepared for what I would experience letting go of my baby to full days of school. I guess I thought it was going to be a bed of roses, time of leisure, bon bons, you know. But the reality is that most days I feel as if I walk in circles, wondering what to do next, wondering where and when my little buddy will return. I wonder what I'm now supposed to do that I'm all grown up. I wonder if my kids miss me like I miss them. I wonder why the clocks seems to always read 10:00 am. I wonder why I never expected to feel this way.

But with each day comes a little more clarity. Each day brings a friend who checks in on me. Each day brings back my desire to get back to my routines of the past. Each day brings the sun which helps pull me outside to take a walk or ride my bike. Each day gets a little easier. Each day God whacks me upside my head to let me know what I'm really supposed to be about. Each day is a step on this journey called life. Each day is a blessing. And for all of that, I am ever grateful.
