we will rise up

Today, I am grateful to live in a place where people open their doors to strangers and invite the entire neighborhood to join their backyard celebration.

I am learning how to find the balance between rest and laziness. 

I accomplished celebrating "interdependence" when "independence" just didn't feel right. 

I delighted in watching two butterflies dance in my yard, in listening to live music with a community of beautiful people, and in tapping my bare feet to the beat.
