My girl has dealt with some anxiety this year because of family changes, and now she's mostly just excited about wearing her new ballet shoes and feeding the fish and having glitter nail polish, as usual. Today I will prune some hedges before curbside fall cleanup arrives, and maybe buy a chainsaw so I can harvest firewood myself, no man needed...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-60749531732441071712012-09-28T14:08:29.205-04:002012-09-28T14:08:29.205-04:00You are such a great Mom, you live around beautifu...You are such a great Mom, you live around beautiful surroundings. http://thankfullga447https://www.blogger.com/profile/09752118265182467689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-13526954490089909392012-09-28T11:39:21.964-04:002012-09-28T11:39:21.964-04:00When I was a kid I was anxious all the time - seei...When I was a kid I was anxious all the time - seeing those cored apples reminded me of the wonderful comfort of my mom making applesauce in the fall. Upstate NY apples are the best, and that cinnamon smell, the sight and sound of the sauce blurping on the stove, and the fun of turning the crank on the food mill all to create warm tasty love in a bowl made me feel calm, and safe, and loved. I bet all of your harvesting activities do the same for your children. I'm sending you sweet wishes for still, deep sleep-filled nights. xoxoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-48660830868522436822012-09-28T11:08:03.837-04:002012-09-28T11:08:03.837-04:00It is so kind and generous of you to take a moment...It is so kind and generous of you to take a moment out of what might have been a dark day and remind us all that we need to harvest our light!

No doubt, though, you are loving them out of it with light and grace. Have you considered making a dream catcher or some other talisman as a tangible prop to help keep the shadows at bay?

I find myself pulled into the shadows and dark places and get mired there when it feels so hard, sometimes, to harvest goodness. I have been trying to take small stands. To listen more to my heart, and to do those things which may seem insignificant in the larger picture, but which in the moment can bring me a bit of joy: a fire on a sad gray day, lighting candles at dinner, an extra story (or 3) on the couch with my sons, framing a new print that speaks to my soul and placing it where I can see it. Harvesting the strength and inspiration that others share.<br /><br />And my heart goes out to you as you care for your daughter through her nightmares. One of my sons has been struggling with nightmares and anxiety at night and my heart just aches so deeply watching and listening to him, only being able to walk through it with him, not prevent it or make it disappear.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing the ways that you have found to harvest goodness, the struggle and the light.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15124591255453136209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6777506989220366832.post-6167483209867255602012-09-27T12:50:39.402-04:002012-09-27T12:50:39.402-04:00My heart aches for you, but I know you, in your wi...My heart aches for you, but I know you, in your wisdom and sweet spirit, will find the ways and words to get through this time.
