Hello Monday

Back in the office today, it is only required one day per week.

A sense of normality slowly returning as my girl looks like she’s recovering. I hope with everything in me that she continues to move forward.

The past eighteen months have taught me to take nothing for granted. So many times it has felt like we were holding our breath, waiting. Now I am simply taking each day as it comes, grateful for every small step forward. It is a great feeling, not loud or dramatic, just steady gratitude.

My heart goes out to the carers who walk this road without the hope of recovery. The strength required to keep showing up every day is something most people will never truly understand.

Working from home has its advantages and its challenges. There is comfort in the quiet, but isolation too.

Getting ready, putting my best foot forward, makeup on, nicer clothes, stepping back out into the world.

I’m looking forward to interacting with people again. A little more connection. A little more life.

And for now, that feels like progress.
