Exhaustion - Plus Many Thanks

This is going to be a no-frills, brief and to the point post tonight, as it’s 8:30 p.m. and I’m rapidly running out of what little steam I have left.

Last week was very rough with my mom, and combined with the move, learning a new role at work, and trying to show up for my family and friends here and there, I am absolutely exhausted. Friday evening, I hit a solid wall, emotionally, physically, spiritually, and any other “ally” that is common unto mankind.

And yet, I persist. I get up every morning. I chip away at all that still needs to be done. Forward progress.

This, my friends, is in very large part to your support with your encouraging messages and welcomed advice as well as the packages that have arrived as many of you have graciously contributed by sending something from my Camper Warming List. You all have no idea how much every word, gesture and gift has been a bright spot in a difficult time.

I’ve gotten no notes with any of the gifts, but if you reveal yourselves to me via direct message, I’d love to thank you personally. Either way, thank you, thank you, thank you. 💕

I had no idea when I wrote this dream out here nearly a year ago, that I’d be on the verge of seeing it come true. Unfortunately, I also didn’t know I’d be dealing with the steady decline of my mom at the same time.

Joy.

Sorrow.

Through it all, very grateful for you.
