Deb…. How beautiful and bittersweet. My daughter fractured her wrist and the doctor said when it healed it was stronger than it was before. Your fractures have strengthened you, too ❤️ Thank you for this stunning reflection and retrospect on life. Sending you all the hugs.

Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! Hope she is healing up good. And yes, we are supposed to become stronger. Sometimes those little fractures wear us down too and make us less loving and weak :( I am so honored that you stopped by and read this and for the humbling compliment. Sending a huge hug back. oxox

Fractures of a different kind

That mostly just affect the mind

Your bones don't break nor fall apat

But can affect a tender heart

Let your pain be my sorrow

Let your tears be my tears too

Let your courage be my model

That the north you find will still be true

Oh, when there's no more information

And the compass turns, the compass turns

To nowhere that you know well

Let your soul be your pilot

Thank you friend. And thank you for sharing. Hope you’re doing well. Holidays, meant for good, can also be a bit stressful - so finding the peace and quiet in all the little things (that are so important) is key I think. Just giving in and doing our best. Sending you a big hug. ox
