Today is the last day of temperatures over 70 degrees for a while, so they say. I had hoped we could plan a hiking trip next week, but I see a severe dip in temperature and snow in the extended forecast. The trails will probably be muddy for a while. Oh well, there is plenty of time and the days are only going to go on growing warmer now.
The words weren’t flowing so well today so I gave myself permission to skip the writing so long as I promise to give it my best again come morning. I’m reading instead and have already finished On the Beach at Night Alone
Some days all this time is welcome, some days it’s more than I can bear. Looking forward is anxiety inducing and imagining the sheer number of days to come that are filled with nothing paralyzes me. I have to take them one at a time. Time has to become irrelevant for now. There is just right now and what I have and the little I can do with it. It has to be okay. It has to be enough.
