Such a splendid reflection. Two things in particular called out to me. The tulips arriving way too early and "It’s the moments when there isn’t someone with whom I want to share a snoopy dance." I shall have to read this again to absorb all the goodness.

Thank you David. People to share the joyous snoopy dance with are so important. Without them life would feel so empty.

And those crazy tulips!! I keep warning them “it’s too soon! Go back, hide, there’s frost coming!” (All the while not caring that my neighbors think they have a crazy lady living by them🤪)

Aww, I love your list in the beginning, and YAY another Tara Brach fan! 💯 Also, that is so frickin' awesome what you did in the singing group. That's the way to kick some loneliness ass. xo

Thanks Lani! Tara Brach is wonderful. I listen to her podcasts and meditations whenever she posts.

I had so much fun in that singing group. It fulfilled many dreams.

Thanks for taking time to comment.

So much helpful wisdom Teyani! And consider me on your shortlist if you ever need someone to text or call to share snoopy dance-worthy news. Or no news at all, just simple awe or gratitude. Or silence. 💛
