at Volunteer Park CafeHave you ever noticed how we, in the broadest sense, are in the habit of saying what people expect to hear? Being genuine often comes across as over-sharing. It makes people uncomfortable.
When things start to get a little crazy around here, usually just before dinner, if I’m lucky, it finally occurs to me to turn on some music. Johnny Cash saved us, tonight.
The weather is a little absurd right now, if you ask me. Sun, rain and snow, all in a day, more than once this week.
When, after the lights are out, and the house starts to settle and one of them says, ‘Mom?’ and I say, ‘Yes?’ and he responds, ‘Good, you’re there,' I feel my life has been a success.

Unexpected goosebumps, that last line, there.
I think genuine suits you, Lecia.
:-)
just sayin.
Love this. The shots and especially your words. What you share always touches me in some way. Thank you for that.
oh, that last line. <3
great post! and that top picture is just amazing.
Yep JC cheers me up as well.
Love the very warm and cosy last line of your post.
Oh, I loved this post. I wonder, when you say people are in the habit of saying what is expected, do you mean they tend to over share or sensor?
Authentic is so wonderful.
Lovely.
I struggle to find the balance between over sharing/complaining and authenticity on the blog often.
And I love your last bit. It is good to feel needed.
