Wow to the CS Lewis, not dissimilar to what I've been saying this week, but so much better. I am shortening in my head to "bathe the children" : ) and keep going.

Glad it could help! One of my favorite passages I've come across.

Thanks, Chris. You’ve made it possible for me to get out of bed and carry on this morning, no small task lately!

"You are a future of multifarious possibility. You are another self at a point in future time looking back in gratitude that this lost and former you held on." is definitely going in the journal tonight <3

I love thinking about Jorge Borges-esque non-linear timelines. This isn't explicitly that, but it lets me imagine how my future self might reach back to lead my current self forward.

Glad you liked it! When I read it, I scrapped my scheduled post and decided to write this one. It was a quotes kind of week.

Such good quotes and you reminded me it’s time to bust out The Comfort Book. Now if I can just find it in my storage bins 😂

Your future self will appreciate your bin search 😂

I found it right after this! I was smart when I moved home apparently and put it with my other books, knowing it's one I would want to refer back to 😊 My bins are all up very high in the garage so that would have taken some doing and parental assistance 😂

Like Maya, I love the CS Lewis quote. It seems very apt for our current times.
