Mary, I really appreciate your invitation to be where we are and to allow all of our feelings. I’ve had fun decorating the house and tree with my six year old granddaughter. And I’m feeling exhausted/achy and drawn to stillness and silence. There’s a lot of joy and also frustration at not having as much energy as I would like. I want to explore more time in silence and rest, but it’s challenging balancing that with being married, working, and living in a multigenerational household. So I’m living the questions and finding short time periods for silence rather than activity, and feeling very blessed even though I don’t feel great. Hugs! 🩷
