Love that you are listening to yourself as well as your daughter, and making choices to honor you both. I feel very pulled into the wintering season already as well, and am just embracing it. Thank you for this!
Beautifully said. Isn’t that exactly the point, to discover what serves us and fills our own cups instead of keeping up with these ideals that honestly don’t seem to serve anyone. I’ve had several conversations about how some folks are just not filled with comfort and peace at the thought of setting up for Christmas--it’s just another task on an already overfilled list.
Yes! I've been struggling with mess in the house lately and told Jon I think I want to skip the tree this year. It just feels like so much work and I don't want it, for now. It feels so liberating, honestly.

Thank you, Hunter! I think it's getting easier for me to embrace it as well.

Gentleness can, ironically, feel really hard.
Thanks for sharing
