So tired of trying to keep up with it all.
So tired of everyone trying to be an expert — top 10 ways to do something you already knew…
So tired of feeling the need to be connected, but not feeling connected.
Last weekend — both Saturday and Sunday — I spent four hours at the playground with my daughters. Just being there, under the trees, pushing them on the swings, sitting in the shade, wetting my feet in the sprinklers. I kept my eye out for the man with the Italian ice cart and had a coconut ice, both days. There, then, I was connected, satisfied.
Yet, still, I wake up in the mornings and the first thing I do is turn on the computer. What am I looking for that isn’t right there in front of me?

I’m not sure, but I’d guess we’re both searching for the same thing, and if you wouldn’t mind, please let me know when/if you find it.

But there’s also the need to feel anxious, victorious, despairing, confused, etc. That second need, for me, kicks in after the baby (I have two) gives up nursing. Before that, I’m happy to be connected, satisfied. After that, I’m turning on the computer.
