    Anita I was reading the beautiful response you wrote me. I have to tell you it’s the middle of the night and I grabbed some strawberries to eat. I read what you wrote while eating them. I smiled and felt happiness when I read that. A small thing a strawberry giving me hope that I’m not alone. I’m not crazy for feeling these terrible feelings. I have panic attacks lately so I realized I need to keep things simple. Make sure my pets (dog and Parrot) are well taken care of. That I am eating and drinking water and I am in AA (sober since I was 21 long time lol) so try to go to meetings. That I shower brush my teeth shower. I’m a dog walker so walk dogs to keep making money which is a good job now animals and walking. I can’t worry about all the documents and this house that needs so much work. I need a break from that at least a couple of days. I get glimpses of hope usually from outside things not from my husband which I am realizing how dependent I am on him. My son is in Japan and they have the most delicious strawberries there. They were like $20 for a carton but I was blown away by the taste. And tonight these strawberries were almost as good so your comment about strawberries really made me smile. I hope this makes sense ;). Suzanne

    Dear Suzanne:

    I’m glad that Pema Chödrön’s words resonated with you in such a simple, meaningful way. It’s beautiful how something as small as a strawberry can bring a moment of hope—and remind you that you’re not alone in your feelings.

    Your focus on taking care of yourself and keeping things simple sounds really wise. It’s understandable that everything feels overwhelming right now, and stepping back from certain worries for a couple of days might give you the space you need.

    I appreciate you sharing this moment with us—it means a lot. And I love that you connected my words to the memory of those incredible Japanese strawberries. Sending you warmth, support, and 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓.

    Anita
