Every morning I wake up and you're gonna think I'm crazy, but I pat the walls of my cottage. I pat them and just say thank you. Like, thank you for being here for me. Like, thank you. I'm so grateful. Like, so grateful for this cottage because of the trauma. It was like we had a couple of weeks where it was seriously bad and the stress levels were through the roof. And, and so now I appreciate this cottage so, so much.
