A different kind of day

Today was one I haven’t had in a long time. Today I lost complete track of time. That hasn’t happened to me in a long, long time. I have been struggling for awhile to sit still, to focus on a movie or a book. I keep popping up to check this or do that or look at email or remember something I have to do for work or have a child or more to check in with.

This morning I woke up to Eric calling me. He has been back to school for a week. He showed me his room, we talked about his classes. But it was more than that. It was his face. It was so relaxed and so happy. We talked for over an hour which for my guy is a lot.

After we finished, I grabbed a book, lay down on the couch and started to read. I don’t know why or how but I simply relaxed. I got up to change movies for Joe. I got us lunch but then simply went back to lying down and reading.

I came back to earth to learn it was six fifteen and I hadn’t started cooking dinner. I hadn’t gotten us both ready for showers, the sheets were still in the dryer and I hadn’t done my Bible in a Day.

You know what, it was awesome. I don’t know when I will fall into a day like this or relaxation like this. I am so grateful to have had it today. #earlyonsetalz #alz #caregivers #faith #catholic
