Wow, we made it! 26 posts. I haven’t always participated but I am glad I did this year. It helped me to focus on something positive and made me write a whole lot more.

Z is for Zero

Hear me out: I am thankful for moments when I feel zero worries. I know it’s not possible to live that way all the time, of course. That’s simply unrealistic. But there are times when I feel this. Sometimes it’s when the kids and I are sharing a fun moment, which looks very different now than when they were tiny. It could be when we are cooking together or taking a walk and it’s sunset.

Maybe the moment is when Ash and I are out with friends, talking about old times. Or meeting new people even. There are weekends when he and I steal away to Jacksonville or Atlanta or Gainesville and we find new breweries and eateries and in those moments, I don’t worry. It’s just fun; human connection, escape. You cannot always escape issues though; they’re always waiting.

But that’s the balance of life, right? I believe in working hard and playing hard; you bust your butt so you can enjoy the little things in life, like those zero worry moments.
