Today I pick up my foster granddaughter from school. I haven't seen her in a while, as she had a busy summer and I did as well. It will be great to catch up and hear about third grade and her summer. This means Fall has definitely arrived. Labor Day weekend is looming and after that le deluge. This morning is overcast, but I assume the sun will come out later. I had a bunch of phone calls yesterday with friends and family, which always feels good. I'm grateful for my network. My gratitude journal has become a comforting habit right before bedtime, giving me perspective. It eases me to not tell "story" and keep my life as multifaceted as it truly is. All these lovely beings in my life are treasures. To keep attached requires empathy and pain, but it's worth it, and it is what being alive is all about.
