yes, even this
This week has held sadness right next to joy. It has held laughter and disappointment. It has held conversations that open one's heart just a little more alongside unexpected grief.
And today, we cook. And we feast together. And we nap. And we laugh. And we miss deeply. And we remember.
Through it all, I keep feeling this infinite yes. Even in the moments with tears. Even in the moments of toddler exhaustion. Even in the moments of unstoppable giggles. Even in the moments before coffee.
Especially in the moments cooking side by side. Especially in the moments where Ellie Jane runs to her grandparents. Especially in the moments where deep breaths are remembered. Especially in the moments where gratitude arrives unexpectedly.
I just keep thinking:
Yes, even this.
That is my prayer today.
(for you, for me)
Yes, even this.

For me, this week has also held sadness and joy right next to each other, and wonderful conversations with family members.
On Sunday, a beautiful first day of summer here in Tasmania, we sprinkled my mother's ashes at a loved beach, and I wore my "Be Brave" necklace and it so helped to hold those words in my hand, and in my heart. Thank you, Liz, for your loving craftsmanship, and for your kind and generous heart. xx
