I spent yesterday afternoon building an ark. As in Noah's Ark, not the Ark of the Covenant.

And now...

Someone has come blasting into my life in the past week.

It's exciting. Fun. Challenging. Thought-provoking. Unexpected. I'm enjoying it, though.

This is taking me to places that I didn't think I would revisit for a long time, if ever, but it's a good thing. Ripping the scabs off and digging into old wounds isn't always fun, but it can be a very healing thing. Revealing the tenderness underneath, taking away the calloused scar tissue and letting myself be vulnerable.

It's a good thing. And not what I was expecting a week ago. I definitely didn't have any idea of this anywhere in my head two weeks ago. It's just the weirdest thing that's happened in a while.

But it's the best weird thing that's happened this week.

One year ago today: I've had one of those days that just keeps going and going, and now that I'm home, I feel like I can finally sit down and relax, but I can't. I'm trying to unwind, but I've been too wound up all day to do it. I think I'm going to make some tea... maybe that'll help. Teehee... I'm becoming such a granny.
