Where’s My Rut?

I’m really looking forward to the holidays being over with. I had no idea how I’ve come to depend on the ordinariness and predictability of my little world to help me keep my bearings straight. And to think how much I used to love the chaos. Either I’m growing or - I’m getting old. Maybe some of both.
I’m just really anxious for these last few days of messed up work schedules and messed up meeting schedules and no school to be over with and done. So I can go back to my beautiful little rut. And get back on track. I don’t feel like I’ve lost any ground over the holidays, but I don’t feel like I’ve grown much.
The last couple of days have brought some exciting gifts, too. A niece, first, my younger sisters third child. My sister is one of the healthiest people I know and I’m thrilled. And yesterday Christopher Kennedy Lawford’s new book, Moments of Clarity, was released. I’m looking forward to seeing my story on a printed page. I raced to Barns & Noble because the website said they had it in stock, but they couldn’t find it. I’ve been waiting for over a year. Another day or two won’t kill me.
I’ll do laundry over the weekend, clean my house, stock the cupboards with food for people that have no time. And Monday I’ll go back to work, back to school, back to my happy rut.
Happy New Year.
