enoughness

 
 
owen comes home to return to work
hannah returns to school
and
i return
to what feels like
nothing.
 
vacations
seem to imply a break from the regular routine of life
and that when you return from that vacation
you will resume what you were previously doing.
 
i was getting well
and that hasn't happened yet
and so i am in the place that has no beginning and end
the place of doing
nothing.
 
it is a hard place to be
and is making re-entry difficult
i am not sure what it means
but i know it feels
yucky and hard and selfish and just not me.
 
it is not where i want to be
yet here i am.
 
i need to remember that i am enough
that my contribution is enough
that this is okay.
that i am not defined by what i do
but by who i am
 
tricky business
i tell you

  2. "Enoughness" is an issue in so many areas of life, isn't it? Thanks for that word... And you are indeed enough - more than enough! a glass overflowing! - just by BEING. Be yourself and love your husband & children and seek the Truth...all the rest is icing. We love you!

    Also, that above is such a lovely picture. You are so beautiful!
