Barcelona. A city of light, nature, art, food, walking life, public transit life, communal life.
The youngest is working for her company office here. She took advantage of budget money available to come and asked me to join and nanny the baby. I haven’t had much time to bond with him, not be under pressure or in pain. The time together has been a balm, a salve of healing and new beginnings.
At work, an idea that has formed over years has taken shape. I’m creating a new business line that involves diagnostic analysis and reporting back to the client. I am deeply thrilled to see it come together.
I’m also deeply thrilled that other staff are working on the parts needed to bring it together. I am finally stepping back to more of a concept/idea roll and management of process design and people. It feels somewhat unreal and that I’m in a new country celebrating w/ my family feels significant. I pushed to get several things done before I left so I could rest here. I’m really proud of myself for showing the discipline to do that and not dissipate in the face of stress to leave and stress to work.
I haven’t posted here in quite some time. Aside from the bb’s birth, the last two years have not been great in terms of pain and just general despair. However, they have been great in many things coming together and landing, bodily healing and emotional and mental strength and stability. It seems I hit the bottom before climbing then back out w/ the tools I’ve learned over the years and a reunderstanding of my faith and the role it plays in life and healing.
The sky here is a different kind of blue, maybe due to the Med being under it all. I guess in the long run, water is under all of us most of the time, in some form or another. Carried along by water, carried along by time.
