Friend speaks my mind. Feeling a bit squeezed. How about you?
Hello dearest readers. We’ve just returned from an epic road trip to Detroit and back to see all four kids, their partners, five grandkids and a dear old buddy from our Earlham days (hi Tracy and Ona.) On the way home, we re-experienced our journey from two years ago when a huge blizzard blew up around the Great Lakes, sending us on a more southern route. It was a l-o-n-g day of driving, and we got home to a snowy driveway, but all is well. It was great to get swept up into the busyness of life with little kids here there and everywhere. They are such treasures!
How about you? Have you caught your breath and steered yourself into December?
I’m headed right back out on the road this morning to help my mom navigate a medical issue. She’s pretty tough at 92, but I’ll be glad when we get this one behind us.
I’ve been feeling a lot like Wilma, above, trying to cram myself into a box of limited time, energy and space.
Ted Kooser continues to be a help. And I’ve decided to return to the habit of writing each night before I go to bed…three gratitudes and three accomplishments for the day and three aspirations for tomorrow.
I’ll be back soon friends, once I’ve settled down from all this coming and going. Hang in there. Look for the light wherever you go, better yet, BE THE LIGHT.
