Today, I am grateful...
For the sunshine today and the heady, heavenly calm of the Botanical Gardens. For eating out on a hot day and not having to do any dishes. For peach iced tea and iced coffee and an air conditioned car. For the glory of a hot, hot, still-summer day, on a Saturday, in September....
For my wonderful husband who mopped up the spilled Rice Krispies without a second thought.
For my children and their little blond, good-smelling heads.
For the way Ivy snuggles her doll with that smug, cat-who-ate-the-canary grin. For the way she says "hi!" and makes the rounds at restaurants. For the way she kisses us with a giant "Mah!"
For Jack and his enthusiasm for learning and his sweet voice and the fact that he forgives me when I yell.
For my hair which looks better when its humid than when its not.
For having no plans for a day.
For pipe-dreams and creativity sparked by the beauty of a slate-roofed Tudor retail space for sale. For the fact that, tiredness and frayed nerves and lack of time and semi-single-parenthood aside, Nat and I can still fall headlong into our dreaming at a moments notice.
I am grateful for that.
For what I have and for what I have yet to reach.
5 minutes up. See you all tomorrow.
