Hello Lovely Peeps! 👋

I'm not here much right now (HOW can it be ONLY Wednesday?!) because this week is FULL - full of good, bad, exciting, and scary things. At least two are all those at the same time. 😬

I seem to be pretty evenly split between puffing out my chest and saying "See? I'm FINE! This is GREAT" and a little voice whispering "You're allowed to be anxious, you know. You have a lot of good reasons to be". 🙄

I *am* (mostly) fine - am just going 'Um, yikes' a lot too. 🥴

I'm getting a lot of comfort from #poetry – apparently I've collected a lot over the years! - & right now, w everything so uncertain, I'm holding on to this from #Scottish #poet Kathleen Jamie's #TheStorm:

"Be brave: by the weird-song in the dark you'll find your way."

Originally I only had this excerpt; I didn't know the context, who #KathleenJamie was, or anything else – but it was one of those #ThingsIKnowToBeTrue the moment I read it.

Be brave, lovely peeps. Keep going. 💪
