Thankful

by Helen Holter

These days are merging too quickly into weeks, seasons, years…

A life so changed: mine.

In such disruptions and upheavals of a marriage vanished, I sense this centering, this quiet North Star guiding me back to all I once loved, and still love.  My life is rich with family, friends, a home and garden blooming with my mom’s favorite flowers, my dad’s favorite tomatoes, and my own favorite things I’ve tried and tested over these turbulent years.
