Oh, hi friends!
The refrigerator delivery guys were going to arrive between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m.
But at noon, the old refrigerator, the broken fridge, the fridge with the freezer stuck on 66 degrees, was still in our apartment after taking a too-short trip down one flight of stairs and back up again.
The details are boring. (Pivot!)
But the point is…there is always going to be a refrigerator delivery.
Or someone’s going to get sick or there’s a freak rainstorm the morning of your long run.
Or you get a flat tire or the mandatory company off-site is scheduled during your first vacation abroad.
Or more, and bigger. A sudden diagnosis or “we have some news” or a constellation of large and small, life-altering and mundane, silly and serious pivots you’ll remember forever or hope to forget the second they happen.
Tension, speedbumps, derailments.
There’s always going to be a refrigerator delivery.
But what we can do — what we will do — is prepare (even when it’s hard) and show up (even when it’s hard) and keep trying (especially when it’s hard).
When we can and where we can and how we can.
Today is new, after all.
