This is so beautiful Melanie! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your moments with us. I’m keeping this with me always: “Sometimes you just need to go somewhere to stretch out your soul.”
You beautifully captured the fragile beauty of parents and children. It's as elusive as the colors of the Maine waters at sunset. Happy birthday dear lady, you look glowing. Wendy
That’s so true, about how you really only get one of each season with your baby. Mine just turned one on the 26th. They’re walking and talking and laughing now, and we’re onto the next part.
Beautifuly written, Melanie. Sometime when you are living in the present you only need to see is the light in the near and distant future. This was what a shaman shared with me in my early 20s.
Oh, Melanie! How I appreciate your writing, your painting, and your presence in this world. You remind me to slow down, to breathe, to see the colors around me. Thank you, thank you!
I am reading this on the eve of my son’s 21st birthday and how I cherish my memories of my time with him when he was little. I am so happy that you are living these moments and soaking it in.
