My Kids Are Over Elf On A Shelf, Yet He Keeps Coming

Dad’s the last one left Elfie keeps going for.

Broken machines don’t give prizes. Broken people don’t give love.

This is not a metaphor. It really happened.

It can be anything that breaks our spirit, rocks our worlds, or rattles our foundations.

We never smelled the roses because we were thinking of all the seeds left to plant.

The saving grace, I told myself, was that she hadn’t seen me.

Whether songs, ideas, or love, those things we keep bottled up for fear of rejection are bottled up for a reason.

Everything is going to be OK. Then again, OK doesn’t mean anything.

The diagnosis, while not changing me as a person, helped me to understand myself better. It helped me to treat myself better.

You found something special in your soul that they might still be searching for in themselves.
