Find your happy place, no matter how messy! In the leafing of the Ozark National Forest, Sage digs a muddy hole in a narrow brook.
My family raves about my hugs. My daughter’s friends crave my hugs. I hope by July, my whole, giant family can safely resume sharing long embraces instead of reminiscing about them over videochat. When my mother-in-law and I, both fully vaxed against COVID, finally got to wrap our arms around each other again, I put my whole heart into it. Tears pricked my eyes. I felt muscles relax that I hadn’t even known were tense; a really good hug does that.
