Lovely, joyful read, apart from the grotty snotty tsunami, poor you. Good luck at Manchester, and with the book cover.

My husband was half Scottish and half Swedish. The combination of hard work and the hard head

That was a lovely letter to read Karin,thank you. I hope they get this postage to America sorted out 100 % ,such a carry on. You can see by your holiday photos the joy that was there. I had a mixed summer and am so ready for Autumn,it just feels time for it and you can feel that little shift. I hope you can shift that horrible virus, it's probably bed and rest that would help but know that won't happen with your workload ahead. Here's to itchy feet and the joys that could bring. Lots of love ❤️xxx

August is the month of birthdays for

our family. I’m not sorry for its passing, though. It was so hot here! Besides, I love everything about fall.

Thanks for sharing your reflections and pictures from your trip home. It is always a delight to hear from you. I’m hoping to get back to Discord soon. Everything is just so messed up right now. I will find something joyful to post soon!

Many blessings,

Bonnie

I have savored many joys this month. I celebrate all month long because my birthday is in August. One of my greatest joys, large and small, has been my birthday card from the Shed and my tiny birthday mouse.

What a glorious and heart-filling letter to savor, to inhale, on a morning with too many reminders about how stress is nearly overtaking me. I DO notice every joy, large and small, speak of them so they know they are seen and appreciated. More than ever, we need to share our truest selves with each other, giving all our kindred spirits more of us to hold onto. I have only memories of my wild places but can be there again in my mind. I am wistful for other times, yet honestly grateful to be here still with my son, all my beloved friends, my own art and the beauty of this world and beyond. Sending you and the shedlings my love and gratitude and good wishes. ❤️
