Quiet and Grief

So much going on in my mind... and not enough clarity to put it into words. Then again, maybe there's too much going on to write about. I have become aware, that some quiet time might be needed, and that maybe, I need to allow myself some time to grieve. My grief stems not from the death of a person, but from some other things that I have lost or have let go of (or in the process of letting go of).

So while I grieve, I am aware that I need to step back, and be quiet, and focus on a few things. I am blessed that I have a brother who loves me, and who I had an amazing weekend with. I am blessed that I get along so well with my dearest SIL - his wife, and my sweet nephew.

I am grateful that I work from home, enabling me to be with my children. I am grateful that I have a home over my head, and that I can live the life I choose. I am grateful for so many things... and this helps my grief.

So quietly I go into autumn... and like the trees letting go of the leaves, it is again time for me to shed a few leaves of my own.
