Today

Today I ran almost three miles
and loved the cool air and the warm sun.

Today I smelled the lilacs, suddenly in bloom
and thought of Charlotte and her mama.

Today I dug in the garden, trading tools with Kathleen
and enjoyed working with her, even if I could have gotten more done alone.

Today I stopped to blow bubbles with Kathleen
and remembered Hudson and her mama and how one year felt.

Today I noticed how big Elizabeth is getting
and how her face is filling out—almost five months!

Today I looked out the window and saw the blue forget-me-nots under Henry's tree
and did not forget and still thought "What a good day."

  1. This sounds like a good day. A real, full, whole day. I'm very impressed by the running - way to go!

    Sending love and wishing you more flowers and bubbles and sunshine.
