You must have been reading my mind! The older I get the more nostalgic I am about celebrations of holidays past. I remember them with much love. I often turn to Facebook, which for me is limited to family and friends, to share those sweet memories. Having said that, I like to live in the present as well and incorporate little things into whatever celebrations are underway, with whomever happens to be around the table!

Amy, I'm loving your rise in the Substack ranks and am here, cheering for you!

Happy Easter! I loved your post - so beautifully written and yes, a time of rebirth. I do come of it from a "religious" point of view (but NOT the Christianity the US president and his followers maintain is Christianity!) and I've always loved the thought that His mercies are new every morning... and every week, and every year.... such an encouragement for us to grow and change.

Enjoy that chocolate cake later and have a very lovely time with your family.
