Friday night, debating between an early bedtime and packing for my Austin departure tomorrow. And, of course, I have the yard sale in the morning- crossing my fingers for wild success. I don't have tons to sell, but I'm wishing good homes for all of it. Getting my Chicago walk goal met would be okay too, though I'm pretty sure I don't have enough for sale to achieve that one. A girl can dream, right?
Today I am trusting that I'll be able to sit down with my calendar this week and figure out both a time to take a few days to do nothing but write (so many things to finish...) AND a time to take a few days completely off (so sorely needed...). If either of these episodes could involve a large body of water, all the better.
Today I am grateful for my friends and my family. You're all crazy and generous and wonderful and big-hearted, and I don't know what I would do without you. You keep my head on straight, you keep me grounded, you celebrate with me during the good, you empathize with me during the bad. I hope that I'm able to do the same for you.
Today I am inspired by the last part of Eric Barker's interview with Gretchen Rubin. This idea of really engaging with someone as they come or go, even just for a few seconds- to focus 100% on being with them for that time seems like such an often-missed opportunity to me. If you're reading this, let's remember to do this for each other, okay?
