i once took great pride in the fact that i could do laundry once a week. and i could do it in 3 loads. minus my sheets which frankly is whole different post. but, lately, the loads have doubled. it seemed like a never ending pile last night as i sorted and got the first load started. i couldn't even get all the darks in one load. what??? this is insane!! how on earth does a family of 4 produce so much laundry??
as i began to ponder all that i had learned about myself in 2020 i found amazing places of adaptability, leadership, and change. those are great strengths and proved to be valuable in 2020, however those same things left me feeling a bit out of sorts, unanchored. i know my life needs to find some grounding again. i told my husband yesterday and a friend today that i am not looking forward to 2021. no big plans. no vacations to look forward to. several things are already cancelled and leaving some voids at work. but really...there is nothing like being an incredible social person and realizing 2021 has a looming sense of loneliness when my girl takes on college. with this in mind, i knew i needed to find some ways to reclaim myself; putting space into my life filled with things that bring joy and peace. there are things i need to continue changing physically, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally, yet discipline is not in my skill set. it freaks me out. constrains me lead
