Really well written E and wow what an interesting job you have. Yes its true that we interact with the world differently now, "more living available to me!" That is brilliant! I love that you tell the kids that even just giving someone your time and sitting for a cup of coffee is a generous act, I could not agree more! Love that!!!!!!
Keep bouncing there Tigger! And get to the grocery store! ha ha
Thank you for your compliment! While I do tell my personal kids about appreciating time, I actually teach adults at alternative sexuality relationship conferences on the 'side' from my 9-5 job. I think it helps couples and poly families keep perspective about valuing each other and respecting time as a real asset. Teaching kids other than my own would likely make both me and the kids cray cray. :)
More living! Yea!

So glad something I said is what you needed! I think that is the best part of this support group. We give each other even while we are gaining from each other.
Remember...give yourself the grace you would give another person. When you find yourself beating yourself up, imagine that you were talking to a person similar to you facing the same issues. What grace would you offer them? Give it to yourself.

I loved this story. But with your lengthy list of deceased loved ones, I'm not sure I'd want to be your friend . . .
