Hi Addy! I discovered your instagram and Substack last week and am going down the rabbit hole! I love these reminders! I used to keep a gratitude journal and write in it nightly and for whatever silly reason stopped the habit, but this post is making me want to start again. My son just turned one last month (it goes so fast!) and we are due with a second son in March and I want to have those little memories written down. Thank you for the reminders!
I’m reading this after finishing breakfast with my 1 year old. I’m moved to tears. Everything was written so beautifully and so much of it reminds me of my own experience. I was also in the group that was sent home in March 2020 and now I’m married and a mother 🥲 look forward to these every week.
Gosh I love your friday posts! I finally, just yesterday, wrote my own “blog post” (for my eyes only) on my laptop. I’ve journaled by hand in worn linen bound journals for years but I’ve been wanting to start writing on my laptop from time to time because it feels so professional and challenges my actual writing skills because my hand doesn’t get tired and I can google synonyms for the words I’ve already used too frequently in my entry 😂😂 it’s a small thing but I was so proud to tell my husband yesterday that I finally did it! I titled it “On finally doing it and the random acts of kindness that spell the gift of friendship…” - it made me think of you!
I remember the Addy who desired blazers over bassinets. It has been beautiful watching you grow into your own, and if I’m being honest, this may be the first time I’ve realized I desire a similar life one day 🤍 thank you for my morning drive audio xxx
