Oh Thomas, that is wonderful news! It is finished. It's time to heal. I always appreciate your kindness and generosity with regard to my writing. As you see, I don't take offense. But sometimes people's words are the best tool for reflection in the moment.
We are well. I'm desperately anxious some days to go home to my farm but then I have to remind myself that without my children it would be a home filled with ghosts.
My youngest leaves this fall. I am deeply sad about it. But try to function as well as I can.
I hope we are situated well. I've been through so much that much of what I think and feel seemed tainted. It is a time for reflection, to be sure.
I hope I am safe. It's everything to convince myself it is true some days.
What my body wants, desires, and craves is something different than the present situation. However, join the club, right?!
There is space to grow and learn and struggle and fail, and do it all over again. So I think it is good.
Your response made me smile. Thank you, friend. Maybe someday we will meet. Wouldn't that be fun?
It's-3 right now and the wind is howling. What an adventure! You are north of me, apparently.
