Glimmers — they’re not always easy to find. It’s been a bit of a rough week. Still, even naming the hard moments feels like a small step toward light — and that in itself is a glimmer.
My body went into pay attention to me mode (yes, I got sick — which rarely happens). As frustrating as that can be, I’m choosing to see it as an invitation to slow down, rest, and listen more closely — the glimmer being a gentle reminder that my body is always working for me.
On top of that, we had to say goodbye to our golden, Violet. No matter how many times you go through this, it never gets easier. It feels like a piece of your heart is missing. And yet, a glimmer — she’s no longer in pain, running free in puppy heaven with her brother, Zeus.
More glimmers showed up in quiet, ordinary ways: an incredibly supportive husband who braved a windstorm to get cough drops… who set up our Charlie Brown tree with its three ornaments and one piece of tinsel — and somehow, that simple act made me smile.
So even when times feel heavy, look for the glimmers. They may be small, but they remind us that light is still present — and sometimes, that’s more than enough. 💛
