This line speaks to me: "These feed me, and our relationship." I too felt it was important to provide rituals to our children and it is so rewarding to watch them now providing rituals -- some the same, some their own-- to their children.Alice Ninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302512837699702430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-7455913471328615482018-05-03T22:49:39.432-05:002018-05-03T22:49:39.432-05:00Irene, it is so comforting hearing you write about...Irene, it is so comforting hearing you write about your rituals that have grounded your life and your family life. The lake house sounds like the perfect place to find peace and stillness to grow more traditions and live your life as a beautiful poem.

I admire your commitment to each of the rituals you make a priority in your life and your relationships. I recall that we discovered we are both getting closer to being empty nesters now at the same time.... it is clear to me that it is time to begin planning new rituals for just my husband and me!Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614784478517920789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-80483486488078582832018-05-03T18:44:11.404-05:002018-05-03T18:44:11.404-05:00This is beautiful, Irene.

It sounds like you have done that so well with your boys. I love your birthday traditions and the way you and your husband keep your relationship at the forefront--making each day special. You have a wonderful capacity to be present in the moment--one of the things that makes you a wonderful poet and your life a poem!
