Sunset on July 4, 2016
We celebrated the Fourth of July with my sister and her family, as has become tradition.
I took the month of August off from blogging.
I reflected on the summer that was. Spoiler: it ended with a big accident.
Matt and I marked our 16th anniversary. It was a bit heavy on the in sickness part, but it was fine!
I celebrated 10 years of blogging. It feels like I just started this blog, but I also can’t imagine my life without it.
This whole fall was a lesson in the power of showing up. A lot of people in my life did, and I won’t forget it.
My favorite quote that I shared:
Melancholy isn’t always a disorder that needs to be cured. It can be a species of intelligent grief which arises when we come face-to-face with the certainty that disappointment is written into the script from the start.
– Alain de Botton, The Course of Love
