Thank you, truly

Everywhere I turn, people are struggling. And as we near Christmas, I am still that little girl who just wished for us all to feel safe and loved and celebrated. I look for this joy in every view, in every picture, in every day. Even when the glimmers are few and far between, I am thankful, truly.

Generosities

A new addition to my growing collection of vintage landscape paintings.

And the absolute freedom that comes with understanding that health and happiness are not a package deal. I can live a full and meaningful life without meeting all of the expectations that I must age gracefully. I don’t have to be happy or feel grateful all of the time. But I can accept the generous offerings that come my way. (Reading Recommendation: Toxic Positivity by Whitney Goodman.)
