I have many responses to your thoughtful words but primarily one of recognition. Of the transition period, and don’t we have many through our lives. For me I’m calling it my reboot, of myself and my long marriage. And, into the mix comes the very new role of grandmother. And it’s painful, tiring, exciting, unsettling, necessary, awe inspiring.And I recognise that I must tend myself by being alone more, taking short breaks with a friend, really seeing my boundaries and where they’ve been breached. I have hope, and the playfulness I’ve embraced with my creating is helping. I’m ditching responsibilities too, too many years being ringleader and plate spinner in this circus! Thank you for sharing and opening up a space for this response x

I like the term 'reboot'! Yes, it's definitely one of those.
This is a beautiful text, and a valuable lesson. 😊 thank you!
