So, as I was home for Thanksgiving weekend I ended up having a meltdown. I'm not positive what it was entirely about, but I do know the tears came as I was playing Monopoly with my nieces. It hit me out of nowhere. Usually, my first instinct would be to stop them. To hold it in. To ignore it. To be stronger than the tears. This time I did something different. I just let it happen. And guess what? It passed. It took an entire day, but it did pass. I was praying in the middle of this crying extravaganza for what to do. I didn't want to just sit and cry. Life had to continue. That's when Jordan called with a miraculous idea. Literally. Crystal Cove. It was exactly what I needed. Beach. Tide pools. Discovering a place I'd never been. I found peace. I was still crying, but I was at peace staring out into the ocean with my toes in the wet sand surrounded by sea anemone.
I don't think Jordan has any idea how amazing...life changing...his idea was. I'm sure he doesn't care to know either. He isn't looking for kudos. It's refreshing. Thank you Jordan for providing me with exactly what I needed in that moment.
