Connection, grown up and 3 more days

 1. We spent the whole day catching up, so wonderful having time to connect.

2. He looks and sounds amazing. 

3. More days yet. 

It's good, my son, it can happen

 1 When it's good news, you can breathe again.

2 Excited to see N after a year.

3 Finally feeling self control isn't an arm's length away. 

Adjusting, paintbrush, and the plan

 1 Being taken aback but regrouping and putting things where they belong.

2 Playing with paints. Seeing exploration as an opportunity to learn and not as failure.

3 Imagining the possibilities.

Me, cake, and new adventures

 1 Spending time with myself. 

2 Chocolate loaf made with avocado instead of butter or oil.

3 Retirement. Best decision ever.
