Mothers Day -- the downside

<< < (2/2)

Hopalong:
Thank you, Lighter.
I usually experience this as quite a lonely weekend.
Today I pushed back by doing some things in the community and it helped.

Tonight the quiet is quieter, and I am extra grateful to have my pooch at my side, flopped on her back on the bed with her feet in my ribs, angled exactly so I can maintain the unthinking tummy-rub that's her evening delight. I don't even realize I've kept doing it until I stop...then soon there is some theatrical stretching and heaving that subsides only when I obediently start trailing my fingers up and down her chest and belly again. Then she's back to front-paws-in-the-air bliss. (Otherwise I get her back feet unaccountably digging into my ribs again--she has trained me.) She looks so silly and at peace, and doesn't give one sniff what the calendar date is, or what holidays humans have invented for celebrating their ties....

All will be well. Sometimes you just have to hang on. You sure have. This is nothing.

I'm scraping deep to rediscover a little will...and after tomorrow, I feel as though my life will be starting again for the season.

Thanks for your kind and moving thoughts, Lighter.

HMD.

Well deserved.

Love,
Hops

Remember to ground yourself, if things get too dark. 

All will be well.

Here's to starting life anew for the season.
