On The Incline

We keep noting that this particular season in our reentry feels vaguely familiar…like the first year of college or our first year overseas learning Arabic. The learning curve is steep and we don’t always feel sure we have much to offer yet in our new setting. But it’s also a time energized for absorbing and learning and it’s filled with little goals. I once read that exercise is more beneficial if it keeps switching up – starting on a different foot each time, changing directions, etc. Somehow, the work your mind and body do to quickly adjust builds more muscle and stamina…I like to imagine that’s true for all the little and big learning we are doing in this time. Or maybe it’s all just awkward and worth a laugh…either way, we are not bored.
