Love this. Especially the whimsical schedule, the ruffy dog and “The tree wasn’t to blame!” 😆 Also so very appreciate your courage. Thank you for being such a good example for all of us. 🩵

Absolutely adore this letter! So glad I subscribed. I have a dogwood in my front yard and now I will think of you as I go to my car each day (or on the days I leave my house which isn't daily). ;)

Great to hear your voice again. Christianity always gets my hackles up. Curse the simple and beautiful dogwood tree? What a dummy, there’s plenty of other trees to fashion crucifixion sized crosses from.

Not even a little stretch to see you chucking your cane for a carefree hound to bounce upon! Personally, I think that is a very dignified thing to have considered.

It is so nice to read your words again and shall relish every whimsically scheduled offering.

As a dog lover I can certainly relate to the cane throwing urge, however I fear your cane may not have appreciated being firmly grasped in canine teeth, I applaud your restraint. I'm another in the 'small life noticing small things' stage and loving it. There are so many treasures asking to be seen it seems like the honorable or could I say even dignified thing to do for us to take our time to look at them and marvel at their unique offering to the world. I'm also particularly intrigued by the notion of whimsical scheduling - I may have to borrow that phrase when referring to my own somewhat sporadic communications with the world.

I think it's definitely good that you're the sort of UNDIGNIFIED (😂) person who'd thrown your cane for a dog. How could it not be? ALSO... how I love dogwood ❤️
