Don’t really feel comfortable putting this out to 10k followers on Twitter but christ almighty I’m at rock bottom right now.
Separated from my husband back in Jan and it just feels like life has dealt me blow after blow ever since. I’m so tired and so worn down and low.

When is it going to get easier? I’m genuinely asking.

Sorry this is so incredibly self-indulgent, but any words of wisdom would be so welcome right now.

@Amy_Hupe when I feel really low and situations big and little really suck sometimes I’m able to take a breath and make next moment a little bit better. One of ways I’ve often done this in the past is helping someone else smile or feel better. The last few years with increased social isolation has made these ephemeral bits of domestic magic harder to come by. Here’s a picture of Saffron I grew last fall … not really practical, just for joy.

Wow, I've never seen a saffron flower before

I’ve posted a bunch of fun Saffron photos, pretty sure they are all tagged with #Saffron. Might be cheerful.

I grow them because they are beautiful, the bumbleebees really like them, and the red threads are a fun flavoring. I’ve also given away a bunch of the corms to other folks to grow and that also seems to involve lots of smiles.
