I’m not sure if it’s because I’m on Spring Break or because today is St. Patrick’s Day, but I feel compelled to write about how absolutely blessed I feel right now.
I have been working on a writing project (which I don’t want to elaborate on just yet) and have been going through the highs and lows of someone who is pretty much confined to a computer screen for days on end.
Feelings of insecurity
Dismay at the words strewn across my screen
Frustration at the papers jumbled and tossed
of devices in various states of charge laying like cemetery plots around me
the shark teeth tabs sharp and multitudinous jutting,
ominous.
And yet…
I have taken advantage of intentional moments with each member of my family and friends as a reprieve and as a salve. These are moments when I fully disconnect to connect; moments for which I am truly grateful.
I have reached out for help and it has been given–freely and generously…
And for the most part by the people with whom I have connected through my social networks: some people whom I have only met once, others only a handful of times in real life, others never except through a post, a feed or a video stream… The people with whom I communicate, from whom I learn, and who so generously share with me.
I can’t help but stop and take the time to write about how very fortunate I am.
Thanks to each one of you for making me feel:
Blessed
Supported
Joyful.
