Well, it’s been a hell of a week. After my blog fiasco earlier this week, my son had a thing happen again this weekend. I’ll spare you the details, but it’s been rough. He wasn’t injured this time and will be fine but I swear that this parenting thing is so much harder than I ever expected it to be. If I ever manage to see him through to adulthood I swear I’ll be ready to sail off into the sunset and spend the rest of my days among the elves. Lol.
We make this life so much harder than it ought to be and I often find myself endlessly searching for ways to slow down, to simplify, to just be and enjoy the moment. But it can be so difficult sometimes when the moment itself is so raw. We’ve been through a lot of it this year and I’m so ready to move past this to better things, but one step at a time.
I’m grateful at least to be able to sit down at times and pour my energies into writing, and to spend some time reading the amazing things that others have created. In a world that so often seems to lack any sort of substance I have really come to appreciate the value of the written word. A man can not survive on TikTok alone!
Here’s to hoping that the next week will bring us all a chance to relax, have some fun, and enjoy the little things 🙂
