Saturday morning ritual, as Sean calls it, is when the kids hang out with Dad stupid early while Mom sleeps.

We used to watch Sesame Street. Now me, Sean and Duncan are staring at our individual computer screens. The sounds of video games waft through the living room.
I used to spend this time dreading all the things I had to do that didn’t include lying on the couch and shutting off my soul. Now I’m not thinking about much of anything. That’s progress. 
I got a lot to do this weekend. My Cub Scout kids have to get in uniform and go door to door selling popcorn. I have to rewrite my Cursillo talk and e-mail the final version to the retreat planners.
And I’m fine with all of it.
It’s a Blessing to be able to do the routine things in life without fear and anxiety burning you to a cinder.
And as a bonus, the sun is coming up after hiding behind thick clouds these last few days.
Hell, yes.
Seize the day.
