diversionary tactics

There's something afoot on my usual main road into work, so there's a sign up saying we should find an alternative route for something like 8 weeks. The first day of my new route, the alternative was closed for roadworks and had a diversion all of its own. That's been sorted now tho thankfully.
The sun is shining today. Summer has been officially declared as the pool is up. I find it hard to celebrate having already had to do one towel wash, and can recall just how tricky the chemical balancing is. Can you hear the wishful thinking when I say "maybe this time things will be easier"...

I think my new route may actually be quicker. I'm not a fan of using motorways tho, as it feels if there is a delay then I'm stuck, whereas if I'm on another road and there's an issue, I can sometimes pick out a different route. The sun is still shining, but I still can't get feel the brightness. Maybe singing tonight will do it. Meanwhile, this is a fab status from one of those who inspires me :)

There sure is a lot to feel in every day, isn't there? As you navigate this little slice of your life, I hope you're feeling nourished and challenged in the right measure, and being easy on yourself and the folks around you. Living is unspeakably hard, and profoundly beautiful, usually all at the same time. As Bruce Cockburn sings, "Depends on what you look at, obviously. Even more it depends on the way that you see." I'm feeling grateful for another day to try again to stumble in the general direction of the light, and to celebrate all that I know to be holy.
