I'm not entirely sure I could love this any more than I do. Thank you for sharing these thoughts. I am so glad you are back and this particular piece may well be my very favorite thing you have ever written.

I hear you. I too live this kind of quiet life in my personal space but a bigger life at home. It is definitely a space to appreciate. Thank you sharing this.

I struggle with this all the time. It helps to know it’s not a solitary solitude.

You continue to be one of the loveliest humans I've crossed paths with, inside and out. Your clarity about what matters made my day that much brighter. Thank you for being you.

Great point, indeed. I feel like we may be returning to something smaller after years of "out there" social media and self promotion. For sure they'll be people who still want to be "out there" but a lot of us are sick of it (also taking into account that the platforms have betrayed a civil society and democracy). How is the kitten? Did she turn out to be pregnant?
