today's work from home day includes talking to others that are working from home
a year ago today i was running a half marathon through the parks in disney
i think by this time we were done with that insanity and sitting on the ground in the parking lot and regrouping with friends
what a difference a year makes
the world seemed at my feet last year at this time
i had so many fun things on the horizon
and you know i did all those fun things - ran the run, rode the rides, at the food, drank the dole whips with rum, took all the silly pictures, wore the sundress, laughed, smiled at the sun, felt the wind in my hair...
I won't say it was a happier time. I am still feeling pretty happy. It is just different.
The things we do to keep ourselves, to keep ourselves distracted, that make us feel important. A lot of that is happening right now. The things that ARE actually important are what are happening right now. Reminded daily of the roof over our head. Planning meals and that food on the table has become the long forgotten highlight of the day. Getting outside for just a little bit. And a prayer or two. All of that we have been reminded is important.
So a week in Disney is fun. Amazing fun. But we can find good in this as well. Maybe not to the extreme of an amusement park. But this will give us pause to appreciate it that much more when we can.
