It's truly been a rough 2 and a half weeks here.My mother died on June 8th.We buried her five days later.Five days after that my dad ended up in ICU.
But the good part of that ismy dad is now back home.
And I am ever so grateful.
My mother had a beautiful funeral full of friends, family and love.I was able to speak a heartfelt tribute to her well lived life.
I will write more about that
when it is easier for me.
I am a very big believer in the power of Intentional Gratitudeon any given day.But especially the really hard ones.
And I also know during life's big stormshow very important it is to come up for airand reframe your life narrativeas graciously as possible.
The older I getthe more I know it up to us on a daily basisto not only look for the goodbut do it where we can.Not only for the benefit of othersbut for our own self preservation as well.
I am ever so grateful for the support of friends and familythese last 2 1/2 weeks.
Especially my darling daughter and youngest son.They have both brought remarkable spouses into our family
who have also been tremendous support.
I am especially gratefulduring this exceedingly difficult timeJeff and I are closerand more solid than ever.A true testament to all of the workwe have both done in rebuilding our marriage these last seven months.If we hadn't made it such a prioritythese last couple of weeks could have really undone progress.InsteadI have been so reassured with our commitment to each other.
So many times in lifethe darkest days can help shine beautiful light.
If we take the time for intentional gratitude.
As always my friends
I wish you love and joy
as you style your life
