Silence is the loudest sound

The travel week was every bit as long and crazy as I anticipated, and it has been amazing to be home for the last two days.  I missed my space here, I missed my morning walks with Kita-dog, and I missed snuggling kitties at night.

Today I am trusting that I'll be able to get all of the things that are on my to-do list from now until around the 20th will, somehow (miraculously) get done.  This week's hurdles:  2 veterinary appointments (The Girls on Thursday, Tucker alone on Friday) and a manuscript that is due on Friday. Sure, we can get this written...eek!

Today I am grateful for opportunities.  Yes, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed when I left for Chicago with all of the obligations I had during the week.  Somehow I managed to get to almost everywhere that I was supposed to be in a timely (for me) fashion.  Somehow everything went just right.  Somehow I left feeling happy and filled up for a bit.

Today I am inspired by friendships.  I know that some of the reason I came home feeling happy and fulfilled had everything to do with reconnecting with friends whom I love and admire.  Coming home to a completely unexpected gift from a friend managed to connect the dots between there and here.  I am so richly blessed, and that keeps me going when I feel a bit unmoored.

Now listening:  Buddy and Julie Miller "Every Time we say Goodbye"
