Today is Thursday. Everybody is back to school. Everyone's schedule and season has changed overnight. For me, it has, anyway. My daughter started kindergarten four days ago. What a change. It is a good change but one that takes adjusting too, nonetheless.
Where did summer go?
I am thankful to have spent many days this summer with my daughters at the pool. They learned to jump in and to swim better this year.
I took a late night walk last night and stopped at the place where I watched my daughter ride her bike for the first time. I recalled the day she learned to walk and never stopped moving since. I re-played in my mind how I felt as Julianna and I watched her walk around the corner to her new school and new phase of life. It hit me yesterday. This is what I have raised her for- to be independent, respectful, a learner and to know who she is. Here she is at five years old making her way into the world.:) My husband informed me that we are a quarter into the time that she'll be home with us, that is, if we get 20 years at home with her.
So much is in my mind and heart right now, but I find that my time is such a treasured thing. I don't seem to have the luxury of writing as much as I would like. How do I prioritize that which is meaningful to me beyond the daily tasks and all the other stuff? Time will tell.
For now I find a moment to sit, enjoy my red flowers on the table before me and some coffee.
Have a great day,
Michelle
Enjoyed this moment to sit with you. :)
