I smiled at your pants metaphor. The concept of body acceptance (and dressing for how you feel) is important for our emotional well-being, especially as we age, I'm coming to find out.
Related side note - Your podcast on new wine earlier this year really helped me process changes at the parish I belong to that were announced around the same time. Our well-respected pastor was moving on and the harder blow - clustering with another parish. The concept of new wine and wineskins injected some grace and hope into my heart during this time of many unknowns for our faith community.
Mary, I'm so happy to see you here! Thanks for the kind words. I think there are a whole lot of us processing our faith practice these days, and I know first-hand how hard it is to lose a beloved pastor. Peace be with you in the next chapter, friend.
