another five things
I. i have begun to realize i edit myself quite a bit. i am only just fully understanding what it means to be an introvert, and yet not shy. i speak only when i feel my words have weight, even via the written word. i always regret the flippant.
II. the beard is going to school for counseling. i think this is very brave. it's scary to try something new at this point in life.
III. socially speaking, this summer has been very... off. our best friends have been in europe the past month, and it only occurred to me this week that we've only been to two social gatherings since seeing Father John at the beginning of may
IV. i need to quit internalizing, quit being overly independent, and learn to better reach out to others when i am overwhelmed and discouraged.
V. the beard and i are going for a much needed overnight get away tomorrow. i am feeling very burned out lately, and need time to refresh and regain some perspective.
