We are having Thanksgiving dinner, just the two of us.”

Tending. That word will always be more precious to me now.

Me too. ❀️. And I love the word precious.

For going on fifteen years, when I wake up my daughters in the morning I say, β€œyou’re so precious” before saying β€œI love you.” Just said it this morning and will tomorrow too. 😍

Relatable, the holiday season used to wipe me out completely. It used to be days and days in a row of gatherings and I would wonder why I was feeling so exhausted. I know better now and, like you, I space out my social interactions to a level where I can actually enjoy them. I see it this way: by spacing them out I can actually be present for other people as well, I can actually be there for them.
