I’m finding solace in menial tasks of microscopic importance.\u00a0 It’s important to follow how much money I have, but is it necessarily important enough for me to have an excel spreadsheet tallying my purchases and receipts.\u00a0 Do I really need to spend the time doing the absurd task of copying over strictly the files I need?\u00a0 The first answer in my mind says “yes, of course it is important.”\u00a0 I only need to take a deep breath to remember that what is important has more to do with seeing people and being open to happiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right now that deep breath seems inaccessible at times, and I am relieved when I relax enough to enjoy myself.\u00a0 I’m thankful for all the time I have been able to spend with people, and I’m glad that I get to spend more of it.\u00a0 With a little less than 96 hours to go, time is short and I’m taking as many deep breaths as possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The experience really is akin to riding a roller coaster.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On May 11th the roller coaster left the platform, and it has been slowly inching its way up a hill so steep that we can only glimpse what lay on the other side.\u00a0 With butterflies in the stomach and a health dose of\u00a0nervous anticipation we are about to crest that hill.\u00a0 Hands in the air screaming WHEEEE!!!! all the way down.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
