This week I think Dan and I perhaps understood adulthood for the first time. Maybe we've understood parts of it before, but it was coming on pretty strong. It's the acceptance of chaos and of 'the way things are.' It's the not talking to one another the whole day due to work and kid and schedule. It's the dishes piling up, the bathroom piping leaking to the levels below, which forces the plumbers to come and knock down part of your bedroom wall and leave it exposed for a few days. It's the breaking of the crib your baby sleeps in. It's everything at once!
It's realizing that you don't even want to complain because you're sick of hearing yourself!
It's being faced with the choice to become more selfish - to shrink away from the stress - or to become more selfless - to endure, to change, to grow, to mature.
Which will we choose this week? ...
But we have faith that this is ultimately for our good. We just need some reprieve.
I've never been one to say this, but THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!
