one of those days

i’m in need of a g-list. life just seems to be passing me by.

here are a few reasons not to let it:

• reading clyde a book that i loved as a girl. there’s a magic ring and kids who become small and go into a dollhouse
• leo, prompted by my response when he hugged me one morning in bed, now says “mmmm” when he gives me big hugs in bed
• nice, chatty dinner with a long lost (not really) friend
• crows on the blue sky streaked in clouds
• my sweet little potato bush tree, she’s come back with many purple flowers!
• the coolest, most lovely june
• strawberry rhubarb crumble
• yellow lillies by the dozen coming soon
• how i cried when clyde wrote “i will miss you” on his card to his kinder teacher and how he pat my back and said, “it’s okay, mom”
• brushing celie cat
• spooning teacake
• rescue me: i can’t get enough
• today’s the birthday of a old friend who i always miss and love
• i believe in patience and understanding even when i don’t have either
• tree bark falling all around
• the feeling of wanting to cry because life is so gosh darn beautiful
