I don’t need to tell you that this is hard. You know it is. For all of us. In similar ways, in completely different ways, on different levels and on different days. But THAT is not what this post is all about!
This post is about those moments of sunshine, settledness, and serenity that can be found in the nooks and crannies. And I think with the exception of Q1 of 2013 (Pat’s cancer, Gracie (our dog) dies, Cimmie (our cat) dies, my heart failure starts, finances tank, and divorce talks begin), I have never appreciated knowing about appreciating more than I do right now.
So here are a few of the things that I’ve appreciated during the past few weeks…
So. Many. Flowers. In our garden, in the neighborhood, everywhere I look. Makes tolerating the worse of allergy season worth it. So much prettiness.
The sweetest, sweetest friends! We got a May Day basket and a socially distanced chat with Sara & her family, whom we’d not seen in, you know, about 2 months…
Surprise balloons & signs on the day of and then socially distanced surprise Mother’s Day picnic (Tuesday) with Katie & Cina. Wow, do I love those two. ❤️
More distance visits with the girls. Queen Ida of the wind and rainbow sunglasses. And outside singing with the family.
Cleaning up my inbox and action folder…and having enough energy left for a grin. (Ooooh, and sporting my new dopamine/seratonin earrings).
Putting our masks up on the living room wall!
