Playing along with the Yay for Home! meme, here are the things I know this week.- I know that ambivalence is a part of life, and that it's normal to have mixed feelings about change and growth, but that life only moves in one direction, and that's forward.
- I know that school holidays are a blessing unmixed in the middle of the year, when everyone's fractious and tired of routine and needs to hunker down together.
- I know that it feels strange, off-kilter somehow, to be smelling a full-blown rose in full sunshine in what should be deep midwinter.
- I know that getting sibling school photos for the first time is a bittersweet pleasure, looking at the smiling faces of two of your babies together in their school uniforms.
- I know that promising party pies, popcorn and nachos for dinner on the last night of term is a surefire way to win friends, including your child-at-heart partner ;-)
- I know that true hospitality is a precious gift that we can give, and that it's best when it's given freely, sweetly, and lightly.
- I know that I am content, at a deep level, with the life that I have and the way I am living it, even when the surface gets ruffled with day-to-day nonsense.
