Every time I’m able to see my kids, even briefly, I end up with a sense of loss again when they leave. Today was that day for me. I got Christmas decorating done but now the excitement was a bit diminished knowing that we won’t be seeing anyone else now before the holidays. And I don’t know when I’ll see either of my kids again. Sigh. Good thing we have the pups.

This page from the book Emma sent me for my birthday resonated with me today.

It’s a good book—I recommend it heartily. There are many good pages. The mole is me. He’s all about the cake. I’m thankful how reminders pop up unexpectedly showing me that balance returns. Things will be fine.
