I’m in the messy re-entry of coming back to work and life after two full weeks of adventuring with my love. I have so many fun moments I wish to share here, musings to write, thoughts swirling around in my head, feelings bursting from my heart.
And
My body is tired from these first few days back to my full schedule. My heart aches for my family and long walks on the beach. I’ve had a terrible time sleeping since returning home, which is rarely the case when I travel.
I got new running shoes, even though I am not a runner and on my second outing hurt my knee by landing too hard without proper alignment. A reminder to slow down, take things at my pace, watch where I’m going, be mindful of form.
I meet the day with both heaviness and excitement. Joy and loathing. Grief and happiness.
I am grateful to be human, to experience the multitudes that exist in a single moment, for the adventures I am fortunate enough to go on, and for the full life I get to return to.
The process of allowing and acceptance is one I still meet with resistance, it is always a practice- a work in progress.
Isn’t this what it means to be human? To rise and fall with our breath and bodies throughout our days. To hurt and heal. To misstep. To yearn. To judge our reactions and wish we responded instead.
So I remind myself, and you that all is welcome here. You are capable of holding it all, experiencing it all, expanding past your perceived boundaries, reveling in the good and the hard. Being both proud of yourself and disappointed.
Here’s to Wednesday- the messy middle of the week. Here’s to a beautiful day of being human.
