Your reflection is deeply moving. Even in the slide down the “snake,” there’s a quiet strength in the way you describe adjusting, slowing down, and continuing forward together.
The image of the seagulls and the reminder that you are still on the board feels hopeful and grounding. Ending the report with “We hold hope and each other’s hands” is beautiful—it captures exactly what resilience looks like in difficult seasons. Like Dickinson’s little bird, your hope continues to sing, even in the gale. ♥
I loved the poem, Jane. Taking one day at a time is the only path through a challenge. A cup of tea and a deep breath can make a difference. My prayers are with Tim and you. ❤️
That Emily Dickinson poem is perfect. Having too much to do, especially when under duress, is never good. I hope your next week is calmer. My thoughts are with you. xo
‘…this week has been a lesson in slowing down, adjusting, and adapting’ speaks to me of you choosing to focus your energies wisely, right now. The world may have other ideas, however…stupid nails in tyres, and the like! Hope it’s the last of such annoyances for a while 🤞 xx
