It's not what you think...

I’m not given to the blues, but here I am, the second December in a row, teetering at the edge.

It was easy to understand last year. Major surgeries in October and December followed by challenging recoveries left me discouraged, weary, fatigued, and lonely. I had a right to be depressed I was told. Even if that were true, I knew that what pushed me into darkness wasn’t what seemed obvious to others.

A season of letting go....

A few years ago, my son Casey told me that he was planning to write a book one day entitled, “The Things My Mother Never Told Me.” He was teasing me, of course, but isn’t that one of every mother’s fears – that when we release our children out into the world that we’ve failed to adequately prepare them to be whole, healthy, and successful adults?
