Life
Someone commented today that they feared I'd been swallowed up by marriage. If something has swallowed me, it's work. Or life in general. My attempts to move toward being present where I am have meant there are places I am now equally absent. That's hard. But I think I still prefer it to being continually distracted and present with noone.
A few bullets that sum it all up:
* Lee and I have been married for 6 months.
* My dad's been in prison for about 3 weeks longer than that, and will be for the next 13 years. Learning how to say that out loud.
* Been working like crazy, and get to take on a new role (and eventually shed my old one). Scary and exciting.
* I live in Seattle. As much as I love it, it also means I don't live in Georgia, or Alabama, Kentucky, or Arizona. That can be tough. There are too many places I wish I could be.
So, there it is.
