Loved this one especially. Frankly it's a trap we all fall into. Also the link to the Bowling blog, had missed that, so evocative of that time and place. You are amazing. Keep it up! MS
I just stumbled on this SO relatable tribute. Yesterday was my mom’s birthday (she died in 2020). New coping skill is to celebrate her birthday (vs dwell on anniversary), so I was thinking a lot about a similar plan-making and announcing mom. Initially this made me smile, thank you! Soon I was laughing. What a delightfully nuanced acknowledgement! Love me an acknowledgement, and I feel like I struggle to acknowledge reality without being negative. This piece was unfolding pearls of acknowledgements, acceptances, love and smiles/laughs. It held a mirror to my mid-60s self, too, but your tone holds unflinching ownership. Gorgeous tribute but also thank you for the therapy!
