With another step on a familiar path, a sense of empowerment creeps back as the rhythm of my feet on the treadmill chase a sense of normalcy. Not something I’m normally proud of, but today something is better than nothing. Later in the day, gathering the kids for a light swim at the gym brought a welcome warmth to the evening. Laughter echoed off the pool walls as I gave my daughter increasing leads and would race her length after length. Splashes filled the air and for a brief evening a healthy dose of fun is helping us all to feel grounded once again.
