Rose, you’ve taught me such a valuable lesson with your lists. You often put “Missing ______” on your lists. The first time I saw that I thought, “why is she grateful to miss someone? Isn’t that sad?” But the lesson has slowly unfolded for me- missing someone means you love them, you have an incredible relationship with them, and their presence means something to you- and how could I be anything but grateful for that?
This makes me think of a quote I have seen attributed to Carol Sobieski and Thomas Meehan from the movie “Annie” that says-
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
I love that and I love how Rose reminds me of that on her lists. Thanks, Rose!
Oh perfect! Love that!
I love a good closet/clothes purging so much that I might even be a little outta control -lol! Hey, how else are you gonna attract anything fresh if you don’t make room first?!
Here’s hoping lots of wonderful, springy goodness comes rushing into your new-found space Rose! :)
