I posted this picture in my blog post “Fall” (quoted below) on 6 November 2019:
“The harbinger of change
Leaves fall like tears
Heralding the frozen landscape
of winter in the soul.
But spring is promised
with growth
and
new life.
Seasons change.
change is
constant
reliable
freeing
surprising
anticipated
an adventure
an invitation
to begin anew
a gift from G-d.”
— Lisa Preisler
Fall’s backyard is much the same
but one year and three days later
my life
feels different
my heart
is no longer heavy
I can truly say
that I am happy.
I can speak of Larry
without sadness.
Tears still fall occasionally
but sadness passes quicker.
Yesterday was the first day
I spent the day
the whole day
not sad.
Not once
and yes, Larry was mentioned in conversation,
but no tears.
Another milestone…
a new day
perhaps a paradigm shift
maybe a real harbinger of change
but feeling good!
XO Lisa ❤️ living a gratitude filled life!
Grateful, Thankful, and Mending!
