Dear Friends,
My boys and I were enjoying a beautiful and drizzly day last week, sitting on the top of a hill eating our lunch in one of our favorite hiking and backpacking spots, enjoying an amazing view and each other’s company…talking about childhood and family and memories. As you might know, my older son started his freshman year in college last weekend…and the way our family schedule happened to work out, other than 2 days, I wasn’t going to have my boys with me for that last week and a half before my older left for school. I was looking at our family schedule a couple of weeks prior to his departure, and when I finally internalized it, I found I was sitting in a lot of sadness because of our schedule, and my perceived lack of time…so, I let myself sit in sadness and wallow for a bit about it, and then I decided to reach out to you all, cancel my classes on the Monday and Tuesday that I had my boys, and take some intentional time away with my little family. And that’s how we three found ourselves sitting on top of the hill in one of our favorite spots on a Monday afternoon after a slow and lazy morning getting out of the house…talking about childhood and memories and just enjoying each other and the world around us. My friends, sometimes there’s nothing we can do to help ourselves when we’re in the midst of sadness or hardship, I know that…but there are times when we can see and acknowledge what we’re feeling, and, in the midst of those very real feelings, we can figure out ways to help ourselves, to shift our perspective, to make life feel better for ourselves even if our situation has not changed. I hope, this week, you can find some intentional time for yourself, in whatever way feels best. Have an amazing week, my friends. Love Krista
