In a very unscientific way, I have decided that 5’s seek out 8’s because in the time 5 gets an exhaustive list made, 8 has checked four things off and is gesturing wildly to hurry up and it’s so motivating.
This post reminded me of listening to my mother read Toast and Jam For Francis on our old green couch while the wood stove crackled.
A heavy week. There is much to (be put on a list to) do.
Wow! What you wrote really helped sum up how many of us feel. So spot on, without flowery/judgy sentiments. I printed this and plan to get Emily's journal. Me thinks I need to get out lots of thoughts and feelings amidst this crazy time and this journal will help with that. I am weary with all that's going on, but when I say that, I think of the front line workers, the families who have lost loved ones to covid, and then I feel sad. I have no idea what weary is. Then I pray because it's too heavy to handle. So thank you for your prose that resonates and describes the mundane right now. Maybe my word for 2021 will be "perspective." I dunno. Thanks again, Shannan. Prayers for your family and our whole world. May God have mercy on our souls.
I hear you. I'm doing my best to allow myself to feel what I feel, without comparing my exhaustion and grief to someone else's. All of it is valid, even as we are aware that some are suffering things we can't imagine.
I resonate with you saying you want the old Shannan back. We had a hard day yesterday and this morning I was thinking how I wanted to be the Annette I used to be. The Annette with hope. The Annette who believed people were generally good. Yes, I am in the drama club right now. I think the anger and sadness has to mean something in the end. I want to use mine to build change into my life and maybe into the world.

My word for this year is LIGHT. We spent New Years Eve with my parents and we all chose a word and painted it on a small canvas. I just ordered a bracelet for my mom and myself. ❤️

Did you know this is one of my all-time favorite children's books and I referenced it in The Ministry of Ordinary Places???
*Bread and Jam For Frances
I just want to say that warm toast, with peanut butter getting all melty, and jam is one of my favorite things. Warm crunchy goodness.

I'll be using your "drama club" line. :)
And I was JUST telling a friend that for some of us God really uses anger to move justice forward.
