I remember reading “When Enough is Enough” and how timely it was. I believe that was the day I’d finally taken a picture of the wonky, misshapen sunflower that grew in the kiddie pool turned makeshift planter - how when it sprouted, I'd noticed the fuzz and caught my mom just as she was bending down to pull it up having mistaken it for a weed. Part of the excitement was that it was so unexpected and the only explanation coils be that it the seed was transplanted by a bird or squirrel (possibly the dog) from the birdhouse hanging across the yard and happened to land in a place that would be watered daily. Somehow I missed the journal post and am glad I went back to read it when I saw it linked. This part: “They remind me that amidst the coffee grinds, melon rinds and moldy bread, is something worth holding onto. They give me hope that over time even the messiest mess can turn into something else” - so important not to lose sight of this, in all areas of life.
I just listened to the audiobook version of The Phantom Tollbooth—read by Rainn Wilson and included an introduction by the author and his reason for writing it and a bit of history about him—free on my CloudLibrary account—Superb! Absolutely loved the word play and plan to listen again with my husband and young adult sons on a trip to Boston in March. Thanks for the recommendation! 💜
Congrats!
