Thoughts for low Sunday

Orthodox friends celebrate Easter today, the Western calendar sometimes calls today "low Sunday". Apparently the Sunday after Easter is also called St Thomas day or even Thomas Sunday in the Eastern Church.
I was wondering how everyone is surviving.
It is an enormous roller-coaster moving from the story of the incarnation to the story of the passion and resurrection in three to four short months. Reading, preaching on, living through the passion and resurrection narratives is hard physical, psychological and emotional work.
So perhaps today is time to let go a bit, plan your next holiday and trust to the grace of the ressurection to break through and lift us into the next phase of our individual, communal and Godly narrative.
What is your Easter story this year?

Happy Easter. Christ is risen indeed!
