epiphany

Last Sunday night, in the midst of a four hour PSC meeting, my mind began to wander. I began to ponder life post-PSC. Some friends were at a concert I had wanted to attend, but could not because of PSC. I began to think about all of the free time that I would have, of all of the things that I would again be able to do. I pondered a season with few responsibilities and time to just be.

Train for a marathon. Teach children's sunday school. Lead a Bible study. Get more done at work. Go to more concerts. Hang out with my friends more. Have a quality yearbook. Travel more. Read more. Just be.

And then it hit me.

That season will never come for me.

I know people who have those seasons of relative quiet. I've just never had one myself. I thrive when I am busy and have 8000 things going on. My life is not going to slow down.

Laura just laughed when I told her, unable to understand why it was such a revelation to me.
