Love your descriptions! Makes me feel surrounded by the places you were and the sights/smells that you experienced. Noticing the good and beautiful in the midst of the hard and sad takes intentionality. It doesn't just happen. But it is so soul-nourishing when I redirect my attention to God's hand in my world. Thank you for expressing this so eloquently. If you'd ever like someone to do crafts by candle light, I'd love to sign up. That sounds like such a lovely way to spend an evening.
You are right - it doesn't just happen. Isn't it lovely that we have the power to experience something differently, simply by choosing to name the goodness?
Rachel, this was BEAUTIFUL. Your imagery is so lovely, and as a fellow meaning-maker, this made me feel seen. Thanks for the dose of digital sunlight!
Thank you for reading, Alicia! May the meaning-makers always find it in spades. <3
