On Thanksgiving, when it's hard to show up, putting the garden to bed, dahlias, dreaming, gratitude, grief, winter, and the grey Ohio sky. (6-min. read)
Happy Thanksgiving, Ashley❤️ Another beautiful piece of writing that tugged at my heart and made me think of how I , too, wanted to drop out of the holidays! I still feel that way, my parents passed 5 months apart 26 years ago and it really did kick me in the gut. Our son is 16 years in the Marine corps and he has had several deployments , to scary places , over the years. He is currently on a ship, somewhere, with no communication to his mom and dad , and it really makes for a tough holiday. But, thanks to your words this morning, I ,too, will show up. Thank you for showing me the way!
Love watching you settle into your joy and cotentedness, friend. Grateful for all these years of knowing and learning from you. ♡
Thank you so much. The feeling is very mutual. <3
