"Growing up" and "growing older" both have their own unique challenges that require us to assess the situation and make the best choices for ourselves. Holidays pose lots of pressure and angst as expectations and reality intersect in the real world. I am not sure who marketed the idea of Galentines Day, but I am sure glad they did!
We all needed to connect with others
After the bitter cold, lasting snow,
Personal, national world-wide
Relentless scary news, fears
Losses, worries, changes
Lunch specials, hummus,
Shared stories, hope
Galentines
Gather
Glad
You are
In my world,
Chapter, gym, life
Cards, gifts, not needed
Just listening, caring
Respecting, valuing, all
In this unfamiliar chapter
Where appreciation, respecting
Are the very best gifts you can offer
