Canceling everything around the holidays was tough but we didn't see we really had any choice. Maddie's at risk as are my employers. I'm lucky enough to have a work space that's beautiful and I'm all by myself. And good for you in taking a bit of a vacation too with the kids. This idea that everyone must go go go go all of the time has caused so many problems in our society. I'm hopeful for the new year but there doesn't seem to be much to grasp onto right now.
You're right, there doesn't seem to be much to hold on to. I think that's why the sunrise hit me so deeply. The sun isn't affected by any of this, and it will continue to rise, and sometimes it'll be beautiful and sometimes it won't be, but it's there the same way it's always been and that's somehow comforting. It doesn't solve any of our problems, but I do think that if we paid more attention to stabilizing moments, we would feel more capable of facing our issues head-on.
