I can handle this.  I’m not really worried about things, entirely.

The jump is just a little farther, and I am hoping it will land well.

I know we are fine.

But jumping will always throw your stomach for a loop, no matter how far you go.

It’s almost over, and “normal” will fall back into place soon.  Sooner rather than later, finally.

I know this, and I am just getting through today.

As Anne Lamott said, if you have a huge ornithology report due, don’t take on the whole flock.  Just go “bird by bird.”

Okay, then.
