Pottery by Osa<p>I’m so impressed with the leadership at UnidosNow for prioritizing pleasure & <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wellness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wellness</span></a> for their staff during such challenging times. This was one of the loveliest workshops I’ve ever led—outdoors, next to a pond filled with ducks, geese and turtles, underneath the shade of cypress trees.

LizAs the day draws to a close, everything I tried hard not to think about suddenly comes top of mind. There is no repression of feelings at the end of the day when you have nothing else to distract you and you’re left alone with your thoughts. Today is my dad’s birthday. This is the first birthday without him. He taught me love for the outdoors and music. Words cannot describe the deep sorrow and the loud silence of his absence. I miss you so much. I love you forever, dad. 💔<br>

LizI previously posted about this little hummingbird that has made a nest in my backyard patio for the third year in a row. And since I don’t have my dad to share these with anymore, I decided to share with you all. I HAVE AN EXCITING UPDATE!! Rosie Pearl’s babies have hatched!! Meet the little twins—with eggshell still in their tiny feathers. 😍 Rosie is being a good mom and making sure to keep them feed. Both pictures are of her feeding them. ❤️ <br>

Alexis Bushnell<p>23 years without him, my entire adult life and half my teenage years, and I still feel the grief and loss of my dad so intensely, never moreso than on my birthday when he would always show up and always make me feel even more special.</p><p>I would give anything to have him back. Frankly just to have a cuddle and him tell me it's all going to be alright.</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Grief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Grief</span></a></p>

Fishercat<p>I'm a bit weepy. Being cat furniture for the best kitty, whose euthanasia is scheduled for Thursday. </p><p>It's been sixteen years, and feels much shorter. Not quite yesterday, but certainly no longer ago than last week that we brought her home.</p><p>I'm also lucky. Not just to have shared my life with this unconditionally loving and affectionate creature, but my friends, man. "Do you need support?" and "I can come keep you company for it if you need, Fishercat, just tell me what time."</p><p>A couple of years ago, my mother-in-law was visiting, and sitting across from me and spouse. The cat was on my lap, buzzing away and looking up at me. MIL has never had a cat, and doesn't particularly know anything about them. But she observed, "That cat adores you."</p><p>I agreed. "Yeah. She does. It's mutual."</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/euthanasia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>euthanasia</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grief</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/friends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>friends</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/community" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>community</span></a></p>
