Yeah I loved hearing the geese and the birds too

Thanks, I keep getting messages saying to stop apologizing for background noise or birds. Working on it!

Oh definitely no need to apologise for them . I grew up rural and currently live in a townhouse without a garden- it’s truly lovely to hear birdsong and geese honking

Jenna, I loved this. As Jennifer said -

So needed !

First I read it, and then I listened to you. It was difficult to even read it the first time- you know, the feeling of wanting to cringe away from something because it’s hard to hear. But. So good. So needed. I’m bookmarking this - I’m going to come back to it, because I need to hear it . So thank you for sharing.

You’re incredibly brave! What you say about comparison is so true, it’s schooled in us from minute one and is absolutely toxic. I like what you say about even comparing ourselves to our younger selves. It’s true, the 43 year old post childbirth with crows feet me sometimes would love to go back and be the 22 year old version of myself even though she was dying to be literally anyone else. Comparison really is the thief of joy.

It really is. And then the hard part is finding other people that also realize it.

I just listened to this and in an effort to love this healing body, I got my brother to help me outside and I got in my wheelchair and wheeled myself around the block. Thank you for the inspiration, Jenna!

This year I started getting a couple of grey hairs, this actually thrilled me in a way. I’m dying to start going grey so my outside will start to reflect my inside a little more accurately. I feel I’ve been an old lady since I was born and some visible greys will maybe stop people from being surprised that my ideal Friday night is getting groceries on the way home from work and then eating the dinner I made on my back deck while contemplating life and what to plant next in my garden ☺️

I think white and gray hair is so cool, especially in women in their 30s and 40s!

You need so much time right now, to heal and breathe and even consider something new after such tragedy. Be patience and kind. Things can change and blossom or compost into something better. Here for you.
