Sunshine
This #thankyouthursday, I am grateful for sunshine.
I’ve been sharing #thankyouthursday for around six years now, yet in 300+ weeks I don’t think I’ve ever directly acknowledged one of my favorite things about living.
Like, for real, sunshine makes life feel worth living.
And the past few days, it’s been both sunny AND warm, and I’ve been able to take B outside and let him discover what grass and sticks taste like, and even though I still feel frustration and overwhelm and grief and loneliness and a host of other less-than-exciting feelings that come with an ENTIRE YEAR of pandemic life and/or early motherhood (it’s hard to separate the two), sunshine inspires additional feelings—like hope, and joy, and contentment.
And gratitude. So much of it.
So, thanks, sun, for always shining, even when I can’t see the light—and especially when I can.
Love > fear,
Christina
