In a short encouraging email article, “Honoring the Pause Between,” Savannah’s Ordinary Magic looks at the week we are in right now:
“This week between Christmas and the New Year often feels a little untethered. The calendar keeps moving, but something in us slows down.
It’s a liminal time — not quite behind us, not yet ahead. A space where nothing needs to be decided, named, or improved. Where rest doesn’t have to justify itself. Where listening matters more than planning.
January will come soon enough, and with it we’ll begin tending the inner hearth — warmth, protection, intention, and care. For now, this week belongs to rest and gentle noticing.” ordinarymagic.com

May we all experience—and gift—peace during this in-between time.
You have perfectly described what I’ve been feeling this last day or two since Christmas. “Untethered” says it all! Exhausted from the couple of days leading up to the day, and then it’s rather like … “okay, what now?” Having trouble getting back into the groove. Thanks, Neal!

You’re welcome, Jill. And I am feeling the same way. “Untethered” is indeed a good word.
