Everyone is alive, so that's good.

*Soundtrack Sunday is best enjoyed listening to the music while you read the post*





Life is moving on, it never seems to stop when you need a break. It just keeps on going, with or without you. But at least I feel like I'm back on the train. Feeling again, instead of numb.

I'm starting to wake up, from the inside out. I guess I'm a lot like winter. The numbness was set in, but now it's thawing. I'm thawing. And I am starting to see and feel again, the good in the world. The good in my life.

I've found home. Turns out, it's been there all along.

In the arms of my love, safe and warm.

Laughing with my little ones.

On my knees.

With friends.

With family.

In the classroom, with the eager faces shining up at me.

At church.

In the early morning dawn.

In the little things.

Life is good. Yes, it's scary, and overwhelming, and stressful. And sometimes, so, so, tiring.

But it's good. Actually, not just good, amazingly good.

And even if we're not all exactly healthy, we're alive. And we're together.

And really, it doesn't get any better than that.
