I'm impressed that you even found time to write this wonderful piece.

We decided to put our house up for sale in mid-May and the house sold in one weekend. No place to move to and now packing. Fortunately, I love to pack AND since some stuff is going to storage and some will go to the temporary apartment, the moving people wouldn't be able to know what goes where.). Writing? Right....

Yeah it’s hard to keep up with so much upheaval. Good luck with your move!

Very glad to hear you're taking a break. I've been following you for almost the entirety of my kids lives. Like you my kids are college bound (my oldest last year and my twins this August).

When you add the very real emotional struggle of your parents health ... Well, your break is well deserved.

Breathe ... it's manageable with baby steps. Wishing you the very best as you pass through another passage in this very full life....

The breaks are necessary. Sometimes life can be too much, and family comes first. Wishing you joy and resilience this summer and will be looking forward to your return whenever the time is right for you. 🦋

Take the break, we'll all be here when you get back. We all need to remember to rest, check out of social media, the news, anything that is just adding to the stress of living, but is not necessarily need to live.
