Bloom

 
 
 
That is what this summer is inviting me to do.
Bloom where we are planted now!
As friends are making summer plans, I feel
we are "grounded" like a plane.
No plans, waiting to see if there will be changes
with Andrews work.  Once I accepted that I
was grounded, I accepted.  Instead of fighting it
or dreaming of where I want to go, (the kind of
dreaming that makes you discontent and miserable)
I accepted this was our summer to stay put, at least for now,
until further notice.  So then I decided to think through
how I could make our lives here meaningful
during summer....beach times, freedom from school
schedule, camps, house projects and purging...
It felt better.
