Sunrise this morning at the cottage.
My last full day at the cottage. I’m feeling a little selfish because truth be told, I wish I had another month of weekdays to spend here. But, in my mom’s last words, I’m feeling ‘very grateful’ for the time here.
People have asked me what I have learned from my winter at the cottage. My responses are hard to articulate, hard to share, because they are God answers, which are often better left in the mystery. Let me just say that I feel closer to God, whatever that means; I feel called to pray for people, whatever that means; I feel less need to explain myself and to ‘get it right’, whatever that means; I feel less judgmental, whatever that means; my ego seems less important, whatever that means.
In summary, I’m saying ‘very grateful’ more often, and am beginning to know what that means. For certain, I’m more grateful for Mom.
