Uh, what now?
I'm sitting in my new Denver apartment listening to men jumping on the roof. Someone forgot to tell me that they were going to be replacing the roof before I moved in :/. Details, details, details. Anyway, I've been here since Monday night and am at a loss for what to do with myself now. I had originally thought that I'd take the next couple weeks to rest, hike, and just follow my whims for the day. Instead, I find myself creating errands and piddly work so that I feel useful in some way. Methinks I need a j-o-b. The transition from the intensity of the past year to normal daily life is tough; I often feel like a visitor in other's more normal lives. Nights are still tough for some reason. The dark and quiet make me anxious. I refuse to just sit and ruminate, though, and have been rewatching the Rome series and rented a movie on Ghengis Khan. There's just something comforting about gory battle scenes :) I miss Craig and my mom everyday and worry about the future of our family; how we'll each cope and heal and build new lives. I have hope for us, even if the future is nebulus and cloudy and always shifting. It's what keeps me smiling :)

We're still all here for you, Lawlers! If any of you guys are ever in DC please look me up. I'm thinking good thoughts for you...Elizabeth Khalil
ReplyDeleteDiane you will come through this and yes try to stay busy. I find if I sit too much at night I think too much. Do you have a exercise place close by that you could use? I also know that work has kept me in check and meeting people so I think more positive thoughts.

The courage in your hope Diane is like your Mom's father's motto of 'fight fiercely.' This resonates with Obama's book title - The Audacity of Hope. You go girl. Your courage is a beacon. Your heart is dear. Love and hugs for you.
