This makes me nostalgic. I'm currently in this stage:

"I love being a homemaker and a mother to three small children. And it is also true that sometimes I feel like I’m going to go insane."

and am trying so hard to not go insane. Ha. It can feel herculean to resist the pull toward insanity. This piece brought me some much-needed beauty.

What a gift - your friendships and your writing! Thank you for sharing.

I've never read such a lovely happy birthday to a friend. That image of being bedbound and seeing the green outdoors will stick with me.
