So you know those awkward phases in your life when you don't really live anywhere and you don't really work anywhere? And you're totally and completely in between life seasons? Yeah they have word for that. It's called transition.
I guess by now we're supposed to know how to deal with that well -- we read books and talk about it and do our best to feel like we are always moving toward something better. And at the same time time we are supposed to enjoy the moment and the calm before the storm.
But sometimes you just feel like you're in a black hole. Can I get an amen??
Okay maybe it's just me. But I like the storm and the craziness and the busy.
And I don't do well with free time. {some of you busy super-moms and college students can kick me for saying that later.}
Yesterday I got to sign a lease and get a real-live house key -- the one for my house. And I got the sense that this next season is going to be real good. My mother reminded me the other day that I am on the cusp of all things exciting and I should just enjoy all of the simple joys along the way--the journey.
So I am trying. Today I made friends with Craigslist again and went to Target for at least the 8th time this week. Because I can.
It's start, alright??
I'm curious, how do you guys deal with transition? What inspires you?
What occupies your precious free time?
