On the edge

It's been a wild few days, with covering "emergency shifts" at the boutique caused by sickness and problems with the building's exhaust system.  Add that to Super Bowl parties and taking care of my mother-in-law, and I've had my hands full.  The house continues to look as though the Roman Legions tromped through with their sandals on, but the Christmas decorations are put away, lights and all, and even though the temperatures are back to frigid, it is lovely to have daylight (sort of) at five in the afternoon.  Spring is certainly on the way.

There is a feeling of expectation.  I'm waiting for something, but I'm not sure what.  Spring, certainly, and maybe a little more peace in my soul brought by time and healing, but there is something I can't quite put my finger on that's getting nearer.  I'm glad Lent is coming.  I find it helpful to "pare away the excess".  It gives me room to think.  Knock off a few video games a day and I find I have more time than usual do get things done.  I really do feel on the edge of something (not "whelmed").  An old friend of mine used to tell me, "The groundwork doesn't show until one day....."  It feels like that.  The groundwork is about to pay off in some area.  Stay tuned while I figure it out.
