Little Pieces of Me

It has been a crazy day. As a family, we had a function coming up on Friday. I grew up with a lot of guests in our home. I am a people person,so for me, events are exciting, and I love planning them. I woke up this morning to a change in the dates of the events. I had never really had this before, so for a minute there, I was kind of lost. I was ready mentally, emotionally, and even physically. This change disoriented me a lot, and I spent the better part of the morning basking in the sun without moving an inch. Yesterday at midday, I went to my grandparents house to hang out. Sitting there in the midst of all that green made me miss someone. It reminded me of how we both really adore nature. So I shared my view and later talked about how my day was going. There is something about a person who understands what you are going through. Then there is the way they make you feel like your reaction is normal. I needed that today more than any other day. I needed to feel like I was justified in not being okay. How I am grateful for this human, how I am honored to be in the presence of greatness. By the time I left, I was okay. I had eaten lots of wild fruits and carried a few for my child. The nostalgia of being a child for a while made me feel okay. This evening, I have made the necessary adjustments for the the D-Day.And just like I was before the news, I am excited for the new date. I am ready for this change. When the day comes, I will be happy to have waited. We all need someone to stand in the gap when we can, to remind us to be grateful for where we are. And when the sun sets, we will rest,for when it rises again, we will be ready.
