I've been working on a professional project that has allowed me to feel as though I am both going back in time, and suddenly moving into my future.
I love that feeling. I'm connected to who I have been, and who I will become. I'm remembering things I knew, and learning things I didn't.
It's been wonderful, and I'm thankful for the opportunity.
That said... My children have been absolute monsters this morning, and I think they're just begging for attention. It's a vicious cycle though, because by being monsters, they are causing me to want to go hide in a cave... Not making me want to play with them like I ought to.
Serenity.
That's what I've been finding in all of this editing... A peaceful, quiet, I-can-clean-up-my-own-messes-with-an-undo-button, kind of serenity.
I wish that I could just ctrl+z the improvised grocery bag water balloon my son threw at me this morning... Or, the lovely marker design on my kitchen floor by my sweet daughter who was only trying to do something sweet for me, but instead made me mad by getting out the off-limits markers from their locked location and making a mess with them... Or, my yelling at the kids to get away from the dishwasher full of clean dishes (and sharp knives) they had opened to play "chef." None of those were terribly difficult to clean up after, but I would so LOVE an undo button so I could painlessly pretend they'd never happened to begin with.
What would you ctrl+z in your life today? What would you copy & paste?
I would copy and paste another precious day with you!
