Here I sit on my patio watching the shadows of the trees move about the lawn, Mojito in my right hand, my dad and hubby seated to my left, and I couldn’t be happier. We have tried to bring my dad out here this past year since my mom died many times, but something always got in the way. This weekend we managed it.
My mind and my thoughts today echo nothing but peace and contentment. I give gratitude for moments like this. So many of my busy days are filled with “if only I had” or “if only I could”. Not today. Today I care not about yesterday or tomorrow. Today I am living in the precious moment of spending time with my dad and sharing my home with him.
I am doing just what I said I was going to do this weekend – take a break from thinking and enjoy summer. I hope you are too.
And so, as another day goes by, I spend it in the here n now, and….I have written.
