It was Mother's Day, I had complicated emotions, and I was so grateful for the Anglican liturgy and the opportunity to just be who I was in that moment without putting on a show to make others feel better.08 May 2026 16:14 +0000at://did:plc:eutnrsvw32a7opofy3ajbphi/app.bsky.feed.post/3mle4taarik2whttps://bsky.app/profile/andreaholme.bsky.social/post/3mlbedjyhk22rThis Yesteryear review (with spoilers) finally says many of the things I've been thinking in the week since I finished the book!

I just looked it up twice before posting, because nothing about that looks correct to me. And I was such a confidently wrong 9 year old! Very EMBARRASSED when I learned I spelled it incorrectly!

I went by myself, and was surrounded by couples and friend groups, and didn't talk to anyone, but I went in the door and that is progress from the last few years (therapy thoughts, for sure.) It was so good to be in a room with people experiencing joy and delight!
