Living

Life has not been the same since Sarah's death. I suppose that is normal, as at least it shows I'm human. But I don't mean this as in my life has a new outlook and I look at things different. Life is just ... different.

I've been asked to lead a workshop this Saturday at our Spring Workshop. When the person who asked me called, at first she mentioned two topics, and when I asked her which she wanted me to do, I was hoping she would say one, because I know it's something I need to work on. But she chose the other, the slogan "Live and Let Live." Up until a few moments ago, I had no idea what I would really have to offer on this slogan. The reason why I need to lead this workshop isn't because I'm some expert on Live and Let Live. Rather, I'm an unexpert. I've been wallowing so much since Sarah's death that I've had problems remembering what it means to live. I don't feel I've ever been very good at it. It just feels like something I've never learned. I sure do know how to hunker down and ride out a storm though! Or rather, hang on for dear life.
