As May rushes in

May 8, 2010

It’s so easy to forget. The obligations add up, the bills pile in, everyone needs something.


It’s so easy to forget. To forget what really matters. To stop and treasure each moment. To smile and laugh and enjoy it all. Myra starts kindergarten in the fall and already her schedule is full of commitments.


But this summer, I’m determined not to forget. We will enjoy the things of summer. The chalk, the swings, the bumps and bruises that are a part of playing outside, the messy popsicles and the out-of-nowhere afternoon thunderstorms.

the sky opened up and started pouring rain
like it knew it was time to start things over again
and be all right, it’s all right”
