Recovering

Hard to believe I am inside on a gorgeous summer eve watching the home run derby live with my man. And loving it! Recovering from a cold. Accepting. Grateful.

The details are on Caring Bridge. My husband is relaxing here at home after a second hospitalization in a few weeks.

The hardest thing for me is the unknowns. What a lesson about loosening, not holding tightly to plans and expectations. Instead, I want to notice and appreciate the gifts that create this solid web of love and support holding us both.

Like when a friend stopped by and I got to jump on my bike and pedal a mile up and fly a mile home. Short and sweet. One of my favorite rides EV-er.

Here’s how Victor Hugo said it:

Be like the bird that, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her and yet sings, knowing that she hath wings.
