Congrats on the birth of your niece 🌻 June is a great name! This reflection is so timely for me bc I’ve been grappling with what joy really looks like for me these past couple months - it’s not what others close to me seem to expect, and I gotta be ok with that and keep pursuing it anyway. I feel too that I welcome grief more easily now but want to welcome joy and excitement just as easily. Thanks for sharing this. It’s encouraging me to keep paying attention to what brings me joy 💛
This was a beautiful piece Meredith, thank you for sharing!
Thank you for taking the time with it 💞

Absolutely. It gets to be our very own iteration of joy and that itself is beautiful
