I

Every blog post I have done lately begins with this word. My opinions, my feelings…my dreams and my hopes. My despair and my fears.

Today at work a lady told me her earrings were to represent her child who took their own life….and …I was undone.

The burdens people carry…I will never be able to understand….

I know people who whine because they spilled their coffee…while other make it into work in spite of three children throwing up and somehow they found someone to watch them. What makes some so resilient….and others so spoiled?

Tomorrow I was headed to the pumpkin patch until I found out it was supposed to rain all day….and now in a way I’m glad….because I just realized it will be the very last time I have someone to go to the pumpkin patch with me….and my heart cannot barely understand it.

My Ellie, just won 3rd place for her painting being held in the local hospital for their art exhibition.

She did not win 3rd in the teen division…she competed with some of her teachers even…

I was so proud of her!

Lately, I keep dragging myself along….and am happy to feel my bones coming back to life….

Apple butter being made daily….

I hope today you are finding joy in the little things!
