I hear ya! Some days I feel this more than others.
ReplyDeleteMaybe especially after this year! Wishing you a good week, Mary Lee!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love this one with every worn bone in my body, Mary Lee.
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Holding on to the edges, like a dear old friend.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read this one I thought of you and your hubs at the kitchen table "aging together"... not focusing on the table's edges. Maybe I was projecting me and my hubs "worn at the edges". Either way, beautiful. :)
