Several days before my husband came home, I finished the last episode.
I’d done it!
I hadn’t sewn that quilt, logged as many running miles as I’d hoped, nor found the bottom of my craft closet, but I had seen Gilmore Girls through to the end.
Psychologist types would probably say the draw of this show was the reminder of home and there’s probably some truth to that.
No matter, my time with Lorelai and Rory was my time. And that’s ok.
Many of us “super-spouse types” have a hard time not quantifying any down time as “productive.” We feel we must be always doing something.
We revel in being busy. Sitting around seems so, well, lazy!
But the women I know who are the most productive people I’ve ever met- they are small business owners, volunteers, moms and friends.
They’re the team moms and the first on your list of emergency contacts. Many are all these things and holding down the fort alone, too.
I honestly don’t know many of them who should be doing MORE. (And if you do have extra time, please let me know. I have a few closets that need organizing.)
So, I hope you’ll take a moment to sit a spell and just be.
As my grandmother wisely said, “You’re a human being, not a human doing.”
And I’m not going to tell you if Luke and Lorelai made it work.
You’ll have to watch for yourself!
