This is so lovely Christine. I am Canadian but myself and everyone I know waited for the results with bated breath. It’s a worrisome time for the world. To have a home is blessing and I am grateful. Putting on the flannel sheets tonight and making soup.

As soon as my work week came to an end yesterday I went deep into clearing out my closet. I felt like I needed to reset and maybe it was in the hope of it helping me figure this moment and the near future out. I looked through and began to think what would be absolutely critical, what would bring me joy and comfort. I’m still grieving about so many things with these election results but you are right about looking for comfort in your home and those spaces that hold you. Thank you so much for your beautiful words.

Yep. Your experience reflects mine in so many ways. The hopeful start of the night that turned into a dark empty feeling.
