Path

We take turns holding each other up, don’t we? But we need to ask for the support. Sometimes we’re too proud to ask; other times we’re in such a bind that we don’t really know what exactly we need to get back on the path.

Facing a wilderness of unknowns, Michael and I keep passing the survival kit back and forth between us.  At last, we’re trusting ourselves and each other enough to ask for help…or to ask, “What can I do for you?”

Last night and this morning, I found myself in a little swirl of a to-do list…more like I couldn’t figure out what to add to the list, much less what to do first. A murky mess.  So I texted about double the friend support I thought I needed.  I didn’t even really know what I needed exactly. Just help. Words of encouragement came in from two people. Yay! And one of them will give me a break from mom work to do teacher work or no work for a couple hours on Thursday. Ahhh!  With that plan set, the to-do list became more manageable, except I still couldn’t find the clarity I wanted.

So I took my son to the Natural Gardener for an adventure for him, some nature for both of us and a fall garden research trip for me. Drinking in the sun, the shady swings and open spaces, we stayed until we felt clean. Then Michael called and I asked him to bring us PBJ sandwiches since he’d finished his work for the day, something that I might not have asked for before.

And Michael came through right away. When he arrived, our son said, “Follow me; I gotta show you something!” and led him down a path to joy and relief to end a week of challenges.

What’s the Deal?: It feels as if the activities of the world have accelerated, right? And I don’t know about you, but I work earnestly to keep up through all kinds of healthy practices. And some days it doesn’t seem enough. For me, if working harder doesn’t work, it’s time to ask for help and take a break away from electronics and the items that remind me of work.
