Hello Friends,
Happy Friday
I feel conflicted today. I’m enjoying what should be a very pleasurable experience: writing this letter to you from the sofa in my quiet (well, apart from the washing machine, which is such a constant in life that I rarely register its droning whirr anymore) house.
The sun is shining. I have coffee.
This should be perfect — except it’s not, for a couple of reasons.
First, because my physio has firmly forbidden me from working on the sofa with my laptop. As he sternly put it:
“Your neck/shoulder will never get better.”
Sigh. I really do want my neck to feel better… but working on the sofa is just so comforting.
Then there’s the other reason: I don’t know what to write this morning.
When I’m stuck, I often look back at what I was saying this time last year.
And, as is weirdly often the case, I’m feeling very similar things.
The only real difference is the weather.
This time last year we were stuck in endless months of unrelenting rain. Today, I’m grateful for this streak of constant sunshine.
Everything changes — and yet nothing at all changes — at the same time.
I remember vividly how it felt back then, how convinced I was that the rain would never, ever stop.
But it did. Eventually.
A reminder:
If something feels hard, or insurmountable, or like it will always be this way — it won’t.
Things change. Always.
That’s the one certainty of life.
Until next week.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend.
