I have the same glass dome—with the bottom. And I’m dealing with extraordinarily excruciating family turmoil since my mother’s March death. I understand your mindset. You write eloquently.

I live 24/7 in the woods with my sweetheart of 48 years and many aged pets. Let’s do the best we can. Stumbling and climbing.

I felt this one deeply. Thank you for sharing. I recently bought a mini cake stand with a glass dome and the joy of keeping it filled on the counter is really real. I felt less alone reading your words. Thank you!

thanks emmy ~ and yes, there is something comforting about keeping the plate full when everything can feel so otherwise empty. i’m happy to know my impulse is not mine alone. 💕

thanks MJ ~ i think the only way i can work my way through these emotions is to give them their own voice to be.

Sadness and sweetness. Your words are rich and raw with emotion. This underlying grief, seemingly too heavy to bear, now becomes the norm. 💕

Thank you for not writing easy breezy when that’s not how you feel. Thank you for writing real. 🥰
