What a summer it's been. The weather was wonderful for the most part. Plenty of warm and sunny days with rain just when I needed to water. The kids have thrived outside, getting their vitamin D and lots of contact with their amazing physical world. They both charm and exasperate me every day and I'm so thankful to be their mother. They are so forgiving and wise in their moment to moment enjoyment of life.
The past few weeks have just been a blur. Todd's been on two business trips in the past four weeks, so I've been with the kids alone, but well supported by friends and family. Mom and Dad and Emily have been saving me from my insanity, literally, with helping de-clutter and do yard work, dishes and dusting. It's amazing how I'd just kind of given up on making it any better. I feel a burst of energy each time I take a load to Goodwill or the consignment store, or wheel our recycle bin to the driveway, full of old files emptied out. They say that our physical world reflects our inner world. The truth of that for me is uncanny. It is as though my own depression, discouragement and lack of focus was manifested in every nook and cranny in our house. I don't mean to sound dark. There is also a lot of fun, spiritual and creative energy in our house but it has had a lot to compete with! I'm feeling a load lifting, a turning of the ship, so to speak. I'm finding my bearings again and it is liberating beyond words.
