"That’s a gentle way of saying: when I had kids, my brain exploded." I actually LOL'd at that because—same, friend. Same. But, I love the idea of a seasonal mindset! I think that is the perfect way to handle this year.

Just lovely, friend. I especially liked your paragraph about all you want from the seasons, it was lyric and resonated deeply. 💗

It is always great to hear from you. Ask the parent of any college freshman and they will tell you these days end sooner than you can imagine. You wake up one morning and wonder how the time can have flown by, when it seemed to one long cycle of rinse and repeat. I regularly wonder, how can I be old enough to have retired, and how wonderful it is that I have these wonderful days. Take care, David

It is so good to hear from you, David! And I love hearing that the retirement days are so wonderful. That is so encouraging!

This post was such a helpful reframe for me. I also often get stuck in the mental rut of “it will always be this way” (for better or worse!) and I needed the reminder to hold things more loosely + keep inching towards light ✨
