Your writing on the pastoral was like a refreshing swim in a cold lake. As I’m not at home for Thanksgiving this year, I appreciate the reminder to disconnect from the ever convenient phone screen and engage with the present. Our little granddaughter is learning new words and starting to string them together. We shared her delight yesterday as she exclaimed over and over “Lina find bubbles!” As she eagerly showed bubble-shaped stickers to us all. Such joy from such a tiny thing as finding a favorite shape! Although we miss your physical presence among us this Thanksgiving, your writing reminds us you are never far, but just around the corner in our hearts.
There is nothing like childhood wonder to remind you that pretty much everything is magical. I love that you got to experience that moment of joy! Happy Thanskgivng!
