You look happy, Margot

I just got back from a trip to Denver for work. I also got to stay with my dad, who’s 89, and see 2 good friends. Rachel, who I’ve known and loved since 3rd grade, just texted me this:

You look happy Margot.

Really happy.

And you have to work for the kind of happiness you have.

It's not trivial.

It's wisdom.

I'm amazed by you, you are a light.

You always have been.

And you took it back, piece by piece, and made it bigger.

Love you

So very touched by that. It says more than I could ever. And it’s true. I’m so fucking grateful to wake up every day and have a chance to enjoy what I have.

I’ll post more about the trip separately. I want to share my dad’s art and perspectives.

In the meantime: Take your own light back. And keep making it bigger and bigger.

Xoxo,

Margot
