Episode 51: Here’s to One Year

I talk about random things making me miss Mom and the surprising things that have brought up pieces of grief. I talk about health scares and how this has served as a reminder that it’s a good idea to focus on the present and making the best of the time presented to you every day. I talk about how I’m working on shifting my mindset from “we can have fun after all the work is done” to “this might be all the time we have so work and fun need to be equally important right now, don’t save fun for later, because nobody is promising you later, they’re only giving you right now” and how I feel like this reminds me all of us are just time bombs. We just don’t know where we are in the countdown. I talk about how I need to focus on happy shit for a while, and I discuss the short-term future of this podcast, and the evolution of grief. As always, I swear and talk about a lot of heavy stuff; you've been warned. I haven’t made time to participate in the Reedsy Prompts challenges lately, but I’m still including the link to that and my Twitter.
