I went to bed last night (after Midnight, so technically this morning), and I felt peaceful. I felt full of hope. There are some hard things from 2024 that are going to carry over into early 2025, but I have hope things are going to work out.
I woke up today to the horrific news about the terroristic attack in New Orleans. It's just another thing that I have to learn not to carry. I can be empathetic and I can pray, but I have to acknowledge it isn't happening to me, and I can't carry it as if it is...or even that it could. Of course it could, but I can't carry that.
Today, just for today, I am going to be grateful for today. I'll never have today again, and today has been a nice day. Andrew and I had the entire day to ourselves. I'm still recovering from a miserable cold so we just hung out today and watched an incredible Texas vs Arizona St. game, and then watching the Buckeyes dominate Oregon. I slept in, and enjoyed the incredible chili that Andrew made for dinner. We still have four days off until reality kicks in again, and I'm grateful for more down time. I'm grateful for each day. I'm grateful my little family is safe and fairly healthy. My heart is full.
Day one of 365 in 2025 is off to a fine start.
