I’m busy enough, but I’m not making progress. In fact, I feel way too busy and way too unproductive. You know how you feel when everything fits? When you head out into the world in the right outfit that fits just right? It’s like you can do anything, you can take on the world. There’s bounce in your step.

Used to be, back in the days when our family was filled with little ones, our days were filled with Easter egg decorating and hunting, Easter baskets piled high with candy (at least one See’s Candy Easter egg each) and new Easter outfits for Sunday Mass.
