We all got very very wet at the cenotaph but I'm glad I went. I was still the only one wearing a white poppy but I had a nod of joy from someone I knew was glad I was wearing it, so that felt less isolating. There were several folk interested in church this morning in having one from me. Maybe next year I'll even put it in the notices.
Todays words of wisdom found on facebook and attributed to Glennon Melton:
I used to say "I'm broken, fix me" then I grew up a little and said "Wait a minute, i'm not broken". And now I'm a real grown up so I say "of course I'm broken, and I love, love, love myself that way. If you're comfortable with that come sit with me and we can laugh and cry and be broken and beautiful together. But don't try to fix me, I didn't ask for that. I just asked for some good company in which to be human."
