I made lemon curd today.
For the first time in months, I found myself during nap time with nothing that had to be done and a bagful of meyer lemons begging to be squeezed.
They smelled heavenly, in that healing way.

These months have been rough.
When things fall apart, it's not a one time deal. Pieces continue to crumble and the descent is scary. And just when it seems like things can't get worse, they do.
But then there are people whose lovingkindness shines through the murk.
People who send an encouraging email.
People who text me just to check in.
People who deliver a surprise load of firewood and insist we don't pay them for it.
People who give us a car because having a second set of wheels is one thing that will make some of this easier.
People whose generosity is overwhelming.
