My husband today said “2025 was a good year” and I had a hard time swallowing that. A lot of big good things long-term happened for our family, but I also feel like I was hit by a truck. (Christmas with a 3 year old and a newborn was just a LOT more intense than I realized). But now I’ve been thinking about how one can feel hit by a GOOD truck, as opposed to a bad one. I think I’ll have to do a looking back exercise like this myself.
That's such a good way to put it... and yes, newborn Christmas has always felt like chaos to me! It's hard for me to recognize the truck as a good truck until after it's hit me.
