Happy Mother’s Day!
Oh, it’s been a week again! And, once again, I’m having weekend issues with Substack. There has been so much to do, and with the kids finishing up the school year shortly, there’s certainly the feel of a mad rush to get everything done.

It’s been kind of a blue week, with some big stresses, but there is a sense of the joy of Pascha, which I’m grateful for. I’m grateful for so many of the people around me.
I’m grateful for the spring weather, and for the beautiful trees all around. In other years, I’ve noticed trees, but this year they just seem perfect. I’m also grateful that the hail didn’t do damage to the house (as far as I know) and even the trees and flowers seem to have come through fairly unscathed. I got caught in some of the hail whilst driving; I’m grateful that we all made it through safely and the car didn’t even get dented – and some of it was getting close to pea-sized.

I am grateful that it seems like a little progress is being made with getting the house more orderly. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t been as active writing – if I spend an “extra” hour folding clothes, well, it cuts into reading and writing. Add to it the end of year stuff, and… it’s a lot.
Thank you all very much for your patience with me!
