The end of Month 1

I started the month with a photo out my new front window, and coincidentally I'm ending it that way too.

The street filled with emergency vehicles.
Three fire trucks and an ambulance on my street. Why? No idea.

What a month it has been. I've been through the whole gamut of states: achingly sad, wistful, peaceful, joyful, productive, creative, bored, energetic, lonely, tipsy, hurt, contemplative, chatty, hungry, relieved, and exhausted. I saw my daughter marry. I traveled to Texas. I spent quality time with friends. I painted and sewed and danced and gardened. I lost my car. I visited Home Depot more times than I care to count.

Emergency lights
And I healed, more than a little. I learned more about myself, about my tender spots, and the things I hang on to, and the things I can let go. I woke each day with a goal of peace. It helped.

It's a journey, and I'm at last beginning to truly accept that this is my road to walk.

Oh...As posted in an earlier email, Hashi, I am amazed at how much living you did this last month!

All of these enriching experiences are enriching your heart and preparing you for this next delicious chapter!

Speaking/writing of deliciousness, I just made a delicious meal and wished you were around the cornder as you would have certainly appreciated the flavors of the vegetables in the dish. Perhaps a future dish...

hugs.
