"Out of Chaos..."

This move has an intimidating weight that I am trying to fight from sitting on my shoulders. The excitement is hiding

behind the nerves,

the to do list,

money,

praying for things to come together,

the Unknowns,

and trying to be everywhere for everyone at once before Moving Day.

Enter music that saves my sanity and makes me slow down for a few minutes, that quiets my soul and stills everything.

Yes, this is chaos.

Yes, this is scary.

But yes, this is exciting.

And yes, this is good.

And yes, beautiful things will come from this.

Let's Pretend This is Wednesday's Post

Sometimes words aren't enough to calm the swirl of emotion and thought.

And sometimes the swirl moves so quickly that it cannot be caught.

In those times, that voice appears again, quietly calling:

"Be still awhile, and you'll stop that feeling of falling."

In that still time, look around you at the wonders there

At all of the joys that'll turn into memories to share.

Let them warm your heart, and let them drown out

All of those troubles that your mind used to shout.

Soon a smile will melt into your lips, boldly shining

And it will seem like simply perfect timing

To be reunited with this old friend once more.

And then you'll wonder, What else does this day have in store?

And off you'll go, happily on your way

To embrace the now-glorious day.
