I love these beLeafs! Happy Fall!

It's been a tough week. An awful awful happened in Texas. To precious, ever so loved children, and caring teachers. And, the gun slaughter continues...The Gun Violence archive recorded at least 14 mass shootings in the United States over the past long weekend. Fourteen.

Maybe you know one of the victims. Maybe you don't. But we are all impacted by this horror.

Take extra good care of your hearts in these days. Reach out to others with care, concern, and let them reach out to you.

Take it easy on yourself. Don't overdo it on the news coverage.
Or let your kids watch too much of it.

It's all traumatic. An awful awful.

Clearly, we need change. Change in gun laws. Change in availability of mental health treatment. Change in our communities and nation.
Don't loose track of that.

And we need to recover. That's a big task for right now that sits in front of us.

Please take extra good care these days.

From Cheryl Strayed, American Writer
***
There are so many kinds of mother. The mothers you cherish and celebrate. The mothers who were never really there. The mothers who broke you. Who built you. The mothers who cheered you on. Who chipped away at you until you were dust. The mothers who reveled in your astonishing intelligence and grace and power. Who saw only their own light. The mothers who died painfully young. The mothers who lived so long you felt yourself disintegrating with them. Petal by wilted petal. The mothers who shined. Who dimmed. Who did their best. Who disappointed. Who redeemed themselves. Who accepted your redemption. Who zigged and zagged. The mothers who were a beacon. The mothers you never knew. The mothers who sewed themselves into the quilt you became. The mothers who couldn’t bear to tell the truth. The mothers who were brave. The mothers who didn’t know who they were without you. Who never saw you no matter how wildly you waved. The mothers who grieved you. Who believed in you. The mothers you call. The mothers you no longer speak to. The mothers you take for granted. Or treasure. The dead mothers. The mothers you have to search for and carry. The mothers you find in people who are not your mother. The mothers like a limb. The mothers like a mirror. The mothers like a flame. The mothers you wish. The mothers you love. The mothers you ache. The mothers you echo. The mothers you wanted to be. The mothers you became. I am thinking of you. I am holding you all.

I'm feeling overwhelmed, are you? There is so much to handle, figure out, be concerned about, and manage these days.
Please take extra good care to take each day one at a time and look for places where you can be grateful. Even just a little bit. It matters.
Peace to you.
