Kelsey Barnard Clark Instagram – Tomorrow I leave to embark on a dream come true, what I’ve worked my whole career for, type of project. Tomorrow I’ll leave my family, my work, my home for four weeks. I’ll be thrilled, excited to jump on the plane and I’ll be heartbroken as my home gets smaller and smaller through the view from my window. I’ll be pinching myself every minute, taking in every lesson, learning, growing and working as hard as I possibly can to succeed. I’ll also be missing the house that plays my favorite music of children giggling, dogs pitter pattering, and roosters crowing every morning. I’ll start each day with a smile on my face, thrilled at the opportunity I’m living, ecstatic that I’ve been chosen to do it, in a place I love dearly. I’ll also start each day with a phone call to study the tiny faces that I’ll swear have changed since I’ve left, the little voices that I’ll pry to hear from at first light. I’ll shed tears of gratitude and tears of yearning. Today I did my best, through blood-shot eyes, to answer curious, wandering questions from the mouths of my babes. When they’re older, I hope they’ll just be proud and able to give me grace.
This is what work life balance is y’all. It’s never a balance but it’s always worth it. | Posted on 09/Jul/2024 23:04:23
