Processing

I sat down in front of the computer last night with a blank document on the screen, my brain jumbled with the events and moments of the weekend.  I intended to write – whatever it was that was in there – whether it be a blog post, something I keep for myself – or share with a select few.  I had hoped that by pouring the jumbled thoughts on the page that maybe I could make sense of them – sort through them so that I can get a handle on how this weekend went other than the mere “it was great”.

Don’t get me wrong – it was great.  I have no complaints.  I am happy with everything.  I guess the reason for the jumbled thoughts can be explained by stealing the word my friend has been using to describe the weekend – epic.

It was epic.

Good word for it.

I chatted with another friend briefly last night who in the middle of it all said randomly “you are really happy, aren’t you?”  I was – I am.

Happy.

Awestruck.

Content.

Satiated.

Grateful.

Happy.

All seem like words that don’t quite capture the feelings of it all.

So, I started typing – trying to get something out – trying to make sense of it all.  All that I experienced. All that I saw. All that I felt.  And, I realized how personal it was all – how raw it still felt.  I realized how much I still have to process.

I wrote on Twitter yesterday evening how blessed I felt.  A great family.  Great friends.  A fabulous weekend.  Sometimes life hands you so much good that you can feel overwhelmed by it all.  It’s funny to consider that one – because we all prepare and worry about life handing us too much bad to handle – that I think, for me, having too much good is almost more overwhelming.  What to do with those good feelings – how to express them.  What a problem to have!

As I process, I will likely share moments that stand out in my mind. Until then, I’m going to enjoy this afterglow feeling.  And try to keep my head on work.

    In other words, you got laid. Often. Big time. 😉

    Isn’t it great to have experiences that you need time to process, relish and relive in your mind?
