Getting away
This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for getting away.
The past few months have been exceptionally demanding (although, doesn’t it feel like that’s been the case for, like, years now?). I feel like I keep limping to the finish line, only to find out it’s not the finish line at all, but the starting point of another race I’m not equipped to run.
This week, my therapist told me I sounded extremely burned out. She said what I really needed was to get away for a few days. Was there any way I could do that?
Well! As it happens, my wonderful sister long ago planned a beach getaway for the two of us this weekend. And I use the term “weekend” loosely, because she’s currently on her way to pick me up.
So, right on time, I am getting what I need.* Because I really do need to get away. And I am so grateful that I get to.
Love > fear,

*A while back I exposed my three-year-old to the Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” and now he sings the chorus all the time, which means I also sing the chorus all the time, which means I am very aware that if you try sometimes, you just might find, you get what you need.
