To everything [ turn, turn, turn]
There is a season [turn, turn, turn]
...There's this weird dichotomy in my brain right now.
Half of it is in a really good mood, in spite of the FRIGID temperatures and the snow on the ground [or maybe part because of that? credit where credit is due!] and taking down the Christmas decorations. I know that I always have a pre-determined amount of melancholy that goes along with this weekend, the weekend that is officially the end of the holidays and the beginning of the unknown. Yet, it seems kind of manageable. I'm sort of okay with it. There are a lot of good things pulling me forward, things to look forward to, indeed.
But...
The other half of the brain? It sucks. I MISS people and that missing feels like a gaping hole, just this incredible ache. I've felt it before, certainly, but I've always been able to get past it. I've always been able to say to myself that time moves so very, very fast and before I even know it, trees will be donning new suits of clothes, green and tender and fresh. The sun will shine and provide heat as well as light. I will again get to indulge in the connections that reach beyond friendship to something more, that mean so much to me. For some reason though, it's extremely difficult to get past it right now. Maybe the pace has simply slowed enough that it's all hitting... I'm given the time now to look back, evaluate where I was and where I am now.
Maybe...
Seasons change and so will I...
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven...
On this I should focus.
Edit: Wow, my coffee is going ice-cold within five minutes of pouring. BRR!
