On a zoom call & my office door opens silently.
A small hand reaches in, arm clad in a fleece onesie, placing a note on the guest bed.
The door closes again softly.
Camera off, I scoot over.
"On trampoline" it says.

Working from home has the best perks. 1/5
10 mins later, the door opens again and the note is retrieved surreptitiously.
A new note appears moments later, "trampoline" scratched out and "Out to check the mail" scrawled beneath it.

How is he so little and so big at the same time? 2/5
He has now returned, breathless, after lugging a 12 kg / 28 lb box of kitty litter two blocks home. By himself.

He says, "I had to stop more than 12 times. WAY MORE.
I had a lot of negative thoughts but I tried to change them into positive thoughts. But it was hard.
I wasn't even that far from the mailbox and it was HEAVY."
(sigh)
"I'm exhausted."

I have so much to learn from him.
4/5
Often, the load is heavy.
And the distance far.
And the negative thoughts take over.
But it's ok to stop and put it down 'WAY MORE than 12 times'.
You just need to pick it back up again once you're ready.
You'll get there.

5/5
