I'm back to work this afternoon. Rested and realized and ready to face the rigors of daily life again. I started to write a post about gratitude, but realized I already wrote it.
Five other stories are fighting to make it from my mind to the page. Instead of re-hashing I invite you who haven't read it (and you who have) to step back a few months with me.
Last month in workshop, Sunday morning, I said I hadn't done my re-write. That I had blogged that morning but wasn't reading that either. I was reading an older piece instead (I wanted to do happy). Jennifer asked for the fresher work, a rant about my brain, and I'm glad that I delivered it.
Still, I want to share my gratitude. On days like that, and days like this, I know. I have everything I need.
Comment here or comment there, because I LOVE your comments!

That post was so beautiful! What an incredible unfolding of stories in tandem, weaving in and out of each other.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a poetic sense of movement. Prema commented then that you could ride the wave of your writing home, which I believe and which was interesting because I feel like I'm riding the wave of your writing when I read it, if that makes sense.
Wonderful! And such an important reminder to appreciate deeply all we are so blessed to have.
Thanks Holly. It was nice to get to know a bit more about you, and to see one more time how really courageous you are. I love, too, how you wove the two stories together in a way that makes what's really important as clear as a diamond.
ReplyDeleteI love that tree!! Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are feeling some gratitude today. Me too...
And I can't wait for those other five stories.
You rock in all ways possible! I could, and hope to soon, read hundreds and hundreds of pages of your writing and still want more!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo. Just stopped by your blog for the first time today and really like it. Gratitude. What a great topic. Thanks for the reminder that I'm grateful for so much.
