My phone thinks this is a selfie.
It might as well be.
I'm just surfacing after a few weeks of deep reflection and processing. All the movement is happening out of sight, and the surface is the last to change.
I'm learning over and over, to keep going, that there is no once-and-done lesson. And I'm learning that sometimes that is exciting, and sometimes it's excruciating. Learning is ok and necessary no matter how it feels. Also, it doesn't have to feel as hard as I make it. I'm learning how to do that, too.
But I can feel the thaw starting, and everything moves easier in spring.
