It is spring

Dear Friends,

I am so marveling at the spring blooms and longer days. It is like a wonderful awakening. My mom has made the gardens flourish. I love it!

I am also entering a new season. With my new aide and day program, I can spend time away from the family and the house. It is so empowering! It has helped me reflect on what I want from my day to day life, and I have decided to slow down. I am so ambitious and driven to build a career for myself, and to make up for lost time. But it was getting stressful. I am realizing that I have to rest and also enjoy myself more. I hope to have many years ahead of me for my big schemes. But for now, I have so much to enjoy and savor. Time with my mom. Time with friends at the day program. Time in our new home. Time with Tara, not spent laboring at multiple projects. Time with other family and loved ones, including the dogs.

This is a relief. I am still pretty busy. But it feels less frantic. And it is so exciting to reach this mindset.

This is also good for Tara. She has so much she wants to do for her own fulfillment, and she is so talented and deserves to have more time to focus on her dreams. We hopefully have more decades together, so we can pace ourselves a bit better. I am so excited to see what she does!

And my mom and I have developed so many new routines together. We are having so much fun. This is wonderful.

The past several months have been turbulent with changes in my life and the world. This is what the Year of the Snake portended. But now in my family, things are calming down a bit, and our new seasons are blooming.

Your Friend,

Danny
