Right now, I am absolutely flying. I have a job with a payrise, my marriage is solid, my kids are still communicating with me through their individual trials, and I am finally Catholic and embracing everything that means with a full heart. I am muddling through, making mistakes and not letting that crush me, but rather learning from it, each day sometimes.
I feel like I’ve had a lifetime of wrestling and struggling through and being quick to say how hard I am finding things, but it seems to me to be really important to stop, breathe and say “This right here? This is good!” Because I know tough things will come again, that is just the nature of life. But to be able to enjoy the good in the moment is something that I think will be very helpful when the corner is turned again and suffering makes an inevitable return.
