I am so thankful. Not just because I had a wonderful week long vacation in Vermont, but because I’ve returned to Virginia in good spirits. After such a long time away, it can be really hard to get back into the swing of things. But this time seems much different.
The house is not in perfect condition at the moment, with Christmas decorations adorning the dining table, waiting to be put away, and boxes and suitcases still to be unpacked.
But I went to the gym today, got plenty of good-for-us food at the grocery store tonight, and made a delicious dinner when I got home. The laundry is running and I’ve started the unpacking.
Getting back into “regular life” is a process and diving right in can be a shock. I’m not going to be a slacker about things, but I’m also not going to fret if I don’t get everything done on the first night home.
I hope this level of ease, and being so close to peace, will last through the rest of the year and beyond.
