Clean Slate

I’m at the point of being sick where I feel I’ve been gifted a clean slate.

In the midst of normal hustle and bustle of daily life, I can stay on a trajectory of to-do lists and productivity. But the pause that comes with being sick offers a chance to sit back and reflect and watch the world go on without me.

This means I can be more intentional when I do show up. The pain of not participating is no longer there and instead replaced by the thrill of trying out new things, approaches, perspectives.

Sometimes all we need to reengage is a clean slate.
