so, hi.
yeah, these are pictures of me juicing up anna on espresso. but it was a very nice evening out to celebrate her grandma's birthday.
i know i've been missing in action here. and in action is just where i've been.
on the figurative front lines.
but of course, not really.
i try to remember this.
that with all my worries and troubles-
and they are many and real-
they are also not the end of the world.
i still have so much to be grateful for,
and i've lost my perspective on that lately,
a bit.
but maybe, fresh off of the first few celebrations of a season of many,
i am starting to turn my head towards the good around me, again.
i think the best way to do that is to see this season through the eyes of a twelve-year-old who hums christmas tunes in her sleep, practically. or a fifteen-year-old who shows me time and again what it is to be strong and graceful all at once. or a six-year-old who knows each and every christmas decoration from memory, and tells me "now that it's christmastime, we can just be happy."
although that may have been the espresso talking.
more soon.
i promise myself.
xo,
tt
