I sometimes question whether I have mourned my mother sufficiently. And I realized that my mourning is more is not in tears or sadness but in memory, and in moments.

Moments like this are when I know that actually do I miss my mother, as I realize how much I love to live in themoments and memories that she gave me.

These beautiful technicolor musicals from the 50's and 60's, like The King and I, The Sound of Music, Chitty, Chitty, Bang Bang, My Fair Lady, Mary Poppins, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.❤️ In these moments I hear her laughter and joy as together we would sing the catchy songs out loud, and marvel at the grandiose costumes and elaborate sets. We would cry at the sad scenes we've seen a hundred times and laugh at the same funny moments we knew by heart.

This is how I remember my mother. This is how I know I'm ok.

Final result for Sourdough Attempt #2

I'm giving myself a B+ on this one. She did wonderful in all of her steps, considering my rookie status. I'm anxious to try different sourdough recipes and things to do with my starter, but I'm going to be patient and make a few more of these over the next few weeks, to make sure that I have my steps down, that I have my confidence built. And I'm going to be very intentionally slow to learn.

Please SHARE, LIKE or COMMENT to see if we can reach others who are still learning like me.

Here's the update. I am going to follow some advice that I have been getting. I have received some great support over this learning process. And so I'm kind of taking a little bit here and a little bit there because things seem to be going according to plan and the advice I'm getting is from people who are very familiar with this process I'm gonna trust.

Thank you to everyone for joining me on this journey.

Stick with me...LIKE or COMMENT so I can see who's vested! 😁 SHARE it to see if we can reach others out there afraid to try something new.
