In Wisconsin, there wasn’t much time for it. It seems there is no time when change is not hard. We know how to make things work, so why rock the boat?Ĭhange is hard when we have to worry about the daily lives of others, make sure that we don’t up-end too much because who knows how it will reverberate in the future.Ĭhange is hard when it is just us trying to make our way. When we tread water and try to just make it to the finish line of the day.Ĭhange is hard when we have been in the same place for a long time. But when will that happen? Do we ever really feel well-rested and fully ready to take on anything?Ĭhange is hard when ordinary life is overwhelming. When I feel right for longer stretches of time. And what am I even anymore now that I am not teaching kids actively?Īnd so I dream of the things I want to do, waiting for that right time. I don’t even feel like I know how to dress anymore. I am out of my reading routine, I am not sure when to call people that I normally talk to, I am posting on social media at the wrong time. But the other things that make up a life are still not there really. My routines are partially in place, I get to work on time, get home on time, cook meals, and put the kids to bed. I have never felt so adult in my life.Īnd yet, I still feel unsettled. We have ideas for how we want to fill our time and sometimes they come to fruition. We meal plan, have Friday night movie nights, and try to be outside as much as possible as fall is here and the leaves are changing. The kids know how to get to school, when to leave, where the parks and library are.
