welcome back (and good riddance)

I don't have any idea of what happened between the time I went to sleep Friday night and the time I woke up Saturday morning. I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Nothing changed in my routine or circumstances, but there was definitely a major mental/emotional switch flipped in my brain. The day went something like this:


What? I am awake before 8 with no alarm, and I am not at the beach?
Wait. I feel different. 
Something is missing.

Ahhh, the tears that have been waiting to fall all week seem to have dried up.
And I think the unidentified thing that's been weighing my heart down is gone.
Yep, they seem to have disappeared. And I ain't gonna look for them.

Wow, this feels good. Really good.
Gumption, it's nice to see you again. 
Get up and go, welcome home.  

Alone time with Jesus, Women's prayer breakfast, a quick trip to Kohl's to check for something, watching Benjamin play baseball, a trip to Jonathan and Jess' to see the work they've completed at the house, driving home and wanting to take care of the lawn and work in the shed. I got more accomplished today than I have all week combined. Feeling "normal" is nice.
