if these leaves are my daily STILL blog images, then what is missing from this image are the roots that feed them. they include a rewarding but unromantic daily routine. a quiet, drama-free domestic life. some early life decisions that mean we can’t forget about money, but don’t have to worry about it constantly. a third-born tomboy childhood that taught me to believe in myself first and others’ opinions second. a life partner willing to join me in both dreaming big, and attending to the details. a certain luck of the draw when it came to illness-free, and issue-free kids. an affection for habit and small daily accomplishments. that’s my soil. STILL blog is the fruit.
