and happy march to you!! i feel like if i get to exercise 3 or 4 times a week, i’m doing pretty welll! swimming would be a lovely way to get some movement in!

i continue to read about your days - i love the little glimpses and the ideas for meals and fix-its. (for some reason i often can't leave a comment - i'll keep trying!) xoxo to you!

and thank you for hosting this thoughtful week, michelle. i am grateful for you!

God is so good to take our hard times, our valleys, our darknesses and to redeem and make good and give light. it makes my heart so happy to know that you are finding Him faithful through these years of your life. all the love to you!

thank you, wrenna! i am so glad i have stayed with it as well - and i am going to keep at it! so glad we have found each other here, too!

hello again L! yes - that thesis! about laura ingalls wilder - i loved doing your proof-reading. :) and i'm glad you came back to this space - i didn't write nearly as much for a few years, and still am so sporadic - but - i post on my instagram account almost every day - @bits_of_sunshine {of course}. and i wish you all the best as you are starting a new chapter of life. i hope there is much beauty and joy in store for you!

oh thank you, my friend. I do think and feel deeply. and I am hopeful that the things I am learning can help or encourage others, as well. you have a wonderful son! and I think it is so awesome to watch kids grow into who God has made for them to be! and we get to be part of that and grow along with them. it's pretty fabulous! have a happy Friday - and weekend! love, e
