Last weekend, I lost a very dear friend. She was one of my first grown-up friends. I am so sad she is gone. And then there was the announcement yesterday of of the unexpected death of my favorite dancer of all time.
This reality is so hard, and it is also a super busy time of year. We are managing the swim team, musical rehearsals, homeschooling, piano recitals, choir concerts, band concerts, working, and a high school senior to name a
few things.
Oh, AND we are supposed to get ready for Christmas. It hasn't been very Christmasy around here. I may have projected my emotions over losing my friend as anger at my high school
senior. I may have left my sophomore at school after rehearsal because I just didn't have time to get her the moment she was ready for a ride. And as I type this, I am watching my son's Swim Team Slack messages to know when to go pick him up.
Your life may be hectic for different reasons than mine, but if you are feeling the crunch and the stress and all the emotions, I encourage you to do what I am doing.
Do the thing in front of you.
The thing in front of you may be your kid. The thing may be your dog. It may be that the groceries need to be put away.
Don't think about the next thing.
You just
need to do the thing in front of you.
Uffda, that was a lot of words. If you are still here, thanks for hanging out. Here is a quick video about this upcoming weekend and other Fun
Stuff. Click on the image to watch the video.
