This might be the greatest cup of coffee I have had in a long while....or maybe it is the moment rather than the drink in hand. I sit looking out the window on a zero degree morning. Two dogs have had their breakfast and morning constitution, so they are satidfied, now especially that they have received some extra scratches under the collar! Oskar snoozes under a blanket on the floor while Luna is ever-present, curled up at my feet on the couch.
The country is celebrating MLK Day, but also the next president returns to sit on his throne, and we hold our breaths. It is a solemn Monday morning, and we are now in 2025. It has been too long and I have left this blog unattended and the children have become less so since then. They are older, learning so much more on their own now. They are harder to talk to yet I can see so many things they know and do just from having been that age once, too.
The last time I attempted to write was in August, which was the one year anniversary (roughly) of the passing of both my father (Joel), and step-father (Ted). I have also been working in an exciting position at a new school this year, and somehow all of this has combined with the sweetness of my family to create a general contentment and satisfaction in my life that has been missing for some time. This is no one's fault except my own. The love and support they have given me as I find my path to healing and moving forward have truly been my salvation in so many ways. This has allowed me to evolve and fully apply myself at school, which in turn gives me great professional satisfaction....another thing that has been missing for a long time.
I simply find myself humbled and thankful for all that I find myself surrounded by. I will try to do better writing and documenting this life moving forward, as it brings me another piece of satisfaction.
Damn this coffee is good.
