Some days are real heavy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some days it all is really tough and like I never quite know what will trigger me. It’s all unpredictable. Unknown.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some days I just want to veg out on the couch at night & scroll... only to find that the scroll sometimes just makes the stressors more stressful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then some days I feel so grateful and humbled and remember that there was a “before” and there will be an “after.” It will look a bit different, for sure, but there will be an after. And I hope it’s a more intentional, kinder, empathetic “after” for us all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then... there is this weird messy often heartbreaking scary but very refining middle. And it’s something I don’t want to forget about, truthfully. 
A “where were you when?” time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s hard to imagine the future at this point, but I’ve been trying to reflect on what I will say. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What did this time define for us?
As a world?
As a nation?
As a community?
As a family?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A wife? A mother?

To boil all the emotions and feelings down into ✌🏻 words.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What would yours be?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Mine?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✋🏻 (Intermittently) Anxious.
🙏🏻 Thankful.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ok, I know that’s 3 words technically, but let’s be real no one ever said I was short winded. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I obviously have a lot more words than just 2, but it challenged me to start thinking about what those “do you remember when?” words would be. Something to ponder, for sure, and something to encourage me to shape this season to reflect what I’d like those words to be.
