… unless your in a boat… Then forward is any direction that you’re moving in. Boats don’t really go in backwards unless you take a lot of effort to slow it down. Then you have to be willing to row backwards..
See! Moving forward is easy, right?
Not for me, it’s easier to be moving forward. Just keep moving the paddle and lean into it.
But today, I’m not in a boat. I’m still working to make it so I’m not sick. Sleeping, with Tylenol PM being my friend. It’s also a odd day today, in that Pumpkin is going in for heart surgery, and I laid in bed, struggling to hold in my emotions as I couldn’t see her off to the surgery room. This was the big one. The one that would define the rest of her life, and here I am, laying in bed.
Flu is evil.
The beauty is that I didn’t worry about pacing back and forth. Tossing and turning isn’t pacing, right?
Now she has to deal with having to take a step back, and heal for 10 days, and return to normal school life in a month.
To which I hope that she has many more steps forward. Unless you want to take that boat, then it’s all forward from here.
