Brief Peace Amidst Weariness

Thank you for your grace, love, and support surrounding yesterdays post. If you didn’t see it, maybe you watched Brady’s video on instagram. Whether you understood where it all was rooted or not, we felt many of you come around us. So thank you for that.

I will admit, even though it was me directly who wrote the post, it was a very emotionally heavy day – one I am still reeling from. I am completely mentally and emotionally exhausted.

Brady has offered me a break, so I am tucked in my bed, upstairs, crocheting a project that is for no one specific, but I really, really like it. So much so that it might just be for me 🙂 We’ll see. I have some Starbucks cold brew next to me, thanks to my mom gifting me a two pack from Costco. What a refreshment. As I crochet, I have New Girl playing quietly on the laptop near me, and I can hear Brady playing guitar. As Christmas has wound down, he has finally found time to play, and he is building beautiful arrangements of classic Christmas songs on guitar. I am asking him to record them, even just on his phone, so he can remember and revive them next year.

Its time to start a new year. I want to be able to look ahead with anticipation. I have my new calendar for 2022 and I think some countdowns need to happen. I have some work that I’m not totally dreading that needs to get done! Maybe this coming week, when the kids are back to school, I can get into some of that.

But first – I crochet. Because its too good to not finish soon.

Rest well, friends.
