I love this post. I am in awe of people who can BUILD ACTUAL THINGS like houses. I mean, wow. I also love the complimentary contradiction that you describe so well: life requiring a rock hard foundation and also a nice, loose grip. I’ve heard “wear life like a loose garment” from folks in the rooms and it’s one of my favorite sayings. I aspire to it. Even just hearing it feels like a relief.

I think about this all the time! Especially now since I can see all the inner workings of the ceiling and roof... It's so impressive. "Life like a loose garment" is a lesson I have to learn over and over. It's a tool that always works when I remember to use it.

I wish you a quick recovery and hope the time you’re resting is the perfect foot forward into the new year. As I like to remind myself when I feel I’ve fallen behind in a new year: “It’s a new year somewhere!”
