This shot and what you wrote reflects so much more Dorene! I have not been keeping up with commenting these past 2 years, I think mainly due to feeling uninspired.  I've been mostly thinking of something at the last minute on Sunday just so I don't give up.  I don't think I have a fear of "loosing the streak"  I think it's more about the fear of giving up on something I know I really do enjoy doing, but haven't had the inspiration to get back to actually enjoying it. I have seen your next week's image and I'm glad you're keeping up with it, but I know that sometimes we might need to step back, not giving up, but to find that love again.

I completely understand keeping this around, and I'm only on year 4 (holy crap how did that happen!?). I'm glad you're still here, and I live vicariously through your cottage posts on Instagram. ❤️ I'm also afraid of not picking things back up again if I stop, there's something to be said for momentum, even if you have rough weeks!

Argh - I dint know you were close…. I’d so miss you. Loved going to Italy with you - just knew some of those would find their way here but probably wrong week.

I find it fascinating how you and the banister are silhouetted in black but everything else is so colorful, even the hummingbird feeder above your head. Looks like a lovely place to replenish yourself. I hope you had a wonderful time.
