Week 34
View from the houseboats
Emotions have been intense – I am so grateful I took this week off. The interplay of things Theo was excited about – Halloween, his birthday – and things we are sad about (e.g. the anniversary of my dad’s accident and death). Sam and I went for a memorial bike ride together on Thursday and reflected on many things, not least of all how many intensely hard things have been woven in over the last 3 years with a lot of pretty great things (like our pretty awesome kid), trying to remind ourselves we really are doing remarkably well, all things considered. Oddly, the pandemic is forcing me to slow down and really work on integrating what we’ve learned.
