Sunday Funday November and December, part 2

I really, really love the process of “input-output.” I guess that is why I love Sunday Funday so much, because it helps me to take my weekly input, and make some output. It makes me feel productive and helpful and successful. I haven’t done that in the past two months. My productive/helpful/successful self was just surviving transition, some days better than others. But it is nice sometimes to keep to yourself for a season. To ruminate, and chew, chew, chew some more. I have appriciated that as well.

I feel a bit of a sigh of relief to have basically caught up on videos and ideas and Interweb reads. It is definitely part of my “unpacking emotionally” process, which sometimes seems so close to done, and then still so far from finished. Welcome to part 2 of 3, which has the videos I’ve made since we returned to the USA (the holidays not included yet).

“Transition is a funny thing

Endings need grieing

And beginnings need celebrating.” —Stu G

I am fighting to hold them both

Inside of one beating heart

I’ve found it must be held loosely

Wrapped in a whole lot of gratitude

Thankfulness fills the holes much better

Than bitterness or silence—Rachel
