It would seem my Lenten period is about up.
I am thrilled to report that over the past 40 days, I’ve experienced at least one miracle – performed by my one and only, JumbleSon.
Since returning from New Mexico, he has decided to give up his afternoon nap. This means that he’s crashing for the night around 7:15pm or earlier (whee!).
While this has brought all sorts of wonderful and unexpected things for me – like a very chilled out, snuggly toddler come mid-afternoon (odd, you say? tell me about it! as always, he mystifies me), long talks with my JumbleLove over dinner (just like the good old days), and time to spread craft projects out in the living room w/out worry that he’ll wake mid-project and want to “help”.
Perhaps even more significant is the fact that JumbleHusband is awake, able and willing to hold down the fort while I strap on my barely used, 4 year old, running shoes and take them for a spin!
While I haven’t managed to reclaim the other 3 things on my Lenten list, running is the very best place to start.
And, if I correctly recall the impact from days past, I expect this small step will ripple through my body, mind, heart and soul in such a way that I’ll be making great strides towards health and wholeness in no time!
How about you? Have you experienced any resurrections this Spring?
