You might have been absent for a bit, but you came back with a gem. It all looks so amazing.
I've changed my journaling to what I call 'I know the magic we call life' :) - I designed it to keep a note of what made that day a day in my life. And I do recommend it. Just jot one or two words of emotion that defines the day, then say why you felt that, jot down one kind deed for the day, and then one thing you do not want to forget about the day. Whatever it is, big, small, it doesn't matter. The idea is that life is made of little moments. We forget so many of them, yet they make our life magic if we stop to notice them. And it only takes a minute to jot them down. It's worked for me. I wish I did it during the war. I can now remember the good moments. But, over all, as you might imagine, the memory of war is a dark one :)
Thank you, Sofia, for sharing your challenges and your hard-won wisdom in such a beautiful way. You inspire me to face hard truths in my own life, and seek what's worth keeping. I'll be very happy to see your face on Zoom again in the new year. Much love, Lillian

Beautiful, both the writing and the photos.
I enjoy writing lists each day and I also keep a diary. I find both are therapeutic.
