Lately:

• A wooden pew, I'm so sorry for your loss, a bewildering, unexpected reunion of old faces. Again.
• A dead car, Hold on, I'm coming, a husband driving many, many miles to rescue his very, very stressed out wife, a mom who says, Here, take my car, a dad who says, Hey, everything alright?
• A million, zillion post its flying out of my pores. The eye twitch. A to-do list written and lost within minutes. Being told I can literally see the stress on your face.
• A messy kitchen. A messy home. A messy life. A bag of candy corn half eaten on the ride home from the store. 
• Soaking up the sun. Breathing in the cool air. A walk, a needed phone call, kind words, deep breaths.
• Peeking out the window shade, snuggled under the blanket, sipping coffee, watching the sun rise. A new day always dawns.
