Oh, my heart! Golden threads are like that, aren't they? They don't take away the pain, or heartache, but that wasn't the point, was it? They silently pull you back together, giving you reason to pause.
Did you imagine that it would pamper you in such a way, that all these years later, you can dictate it like you are there right now? It doesn't matter what they fed you or what kind of spa treatment you got. The best part of it was that it was all about you and you felt the warmth. I think when we are devastated, our soul feels cold, or perhaps that is just me. I need to release that and make it feel again. Time. It takes time.
I hope you brought your mom some big girl panties too.
I will say that was a brave hop off the platform. I have only been ziplining two times in the jungle. Once in Columbia and once in Honduras. It totally beats the ziplining through the forest. Beat is wrong. It was different and exhilarating.
The picnic under the stars with classical music! What a lovely way to end your day. I am not sure you can ever top that and then being with your mom, shared experience... you do it the best, Tracey. @buckaroobaby
Life has dealt you, beauty. You deserve the best. Love you to pieces. ❤️
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
