I love this! I feel like I was going down memory lane with you. Time passes so quickly, but if this post indicates anything, your future looks SO bright. When I get upset about something stupid, and it consumes my thoughts and my moods, it eventually passes, but you are strong and have faced so much shit (aka asshole) it’s so good to see!

Thank you Bonnie, I really appreciate this. And yes, exactly: difficult emotions feel like a passing storm, at least that’s how I try to view them these days. Wait for the storm to pass because it always does. ♥️♥️

Oh hey! Really? I appreciate this so much! I started it many months ago but it wasn’t ready to be written or I wasn’t ready to write it. It felt really good and right to finally finish it this weekend. Thanks for always reading, I always appreciate and look forward to your responses ♥️

Really! It shows so much depth and growth in your writing and your soul, Monica. It's amazing how when we pick off our petals, two more grow back in their place.

So many memories of all your writing, through the different years... Think I found you in around 2005... My son wasn't even born... He just turned 18 and is leaving for Uni in two weeks and I've been doing a lot of reflection myself. Where do the years go? Anyway, bet that family adore that garden in your old place. You unknowingly gave that to them and that in itself is a gift. Plus a lesson in life, plant now for a later season...

2005!!! Nearly 20 years ago. Isn’t that wild. I forget sometimes that I’ve written online fairly consistently since my twenties and here I am almost 50. It’s really something! What a delight to be connected to you for all these years. It makes me so happy. Thank you for all the thoughts comments, including this one ❤️🥰

I have come back to this piece a couple times, even sharing it with my husband. This is truly beautiful, Monica. I really appreciate you sharing. This made me smile, cry, and reflect. Thank you for continuing to write, it’s inspired me to open the laptop and do the same. ❤️
