August is, in the rhythm of my work calendar, the blessed calm before the storm. It is slower during the weekdays, and weekends are quiet and protected, in preparation for the coming season of travel.
Of course, when the storm does hit, it is hard to remember the calm that preceded it. I'm an expert in compartmentalizing and grinding and pushing through, which are strictly survival strategies, but the calm. I miss it in the storm.
I'm feeling grateful this week for the calm weekend ahead, and for the awareness of it, for it is fleeting.
When you're in the calm, are you thankful for it? Go on, be grateful!
