Daily Joys – 120 Time to head home. Grateful April was a long, long month. Mostly because I had so many things I wanted/needed to get done during April that I spent most of it really anxious about whether everything would fall in place seamlessly or not. I am grateful that it mostly did. And yet it was still a really tough month for me. This months intention was to take Joyful Leap: Time to go on adventures. See some colleges. Have deep conversations. See possibilities. i took some leaps. We did go see colleges, we had some lovely conversations with friends. I went to see one of my nephews graduate. and I saw my parents after 3+ years. I tried to see possibilities. I did the best I could with where I was. Here are some goals I had for April:
I was brave for all of April. I did a lot of things that are hard for me. A lot of travel, a lot of socializing, a lot of advocating for my people, seeing a lot of family all around. Figuring out things at work, getting a new job, giving notice, taking leave. All of these were really hard. I took a new job after eight years at this job. Even though it’s the same company, it was still really tough. I decided to take a leave which was also incredibly hard. I haven’t taken time off in a serious way since I started working in 1996. All these were big steps. I got on the airplane for the first time since February 2020. In fact, I got on 7 planes in April. I filed and paid my taxes. I toured 6 colleges. I said a million goodbyes. I showed up for my people again and again. I am proud of all I did. It might be not much for someone else but it was a lot for me. May will continue to be busy for the first half. My family will be here and then I have one more trip east. After that I hope that things will quiet down and I can take some much needed time to be quiet. I am also trying not to plan things and not to fill the days up. I want to create some space. And to be ok sitting with things. I will continue to try take it each one day at a time and look for the joy again and again. Because I know that joy is possible in each and every moment. Here’s to hoping May is full of joy.
