{Wow. Thinking on this poem today. Isn’t it lovely and full of food for thought?}
21. a little boy that says “blue” for glue. “Can you blue this for me?” Be still my heart.
22. sound of rain on the windshield.
23. simple dates over spicy sandwiches, no place to be, just laughing and catching up.
24. that the voting ads are going to now stop filling up our mailbox. Ha. Today is election day in the US.
25. enjoying listening to Shakespeare’s Henry V with my older children, the film adaptation with Kenneth Branaugh has some inspiring scenes. We’ve had some fantastic discussions, laughs, and love the, “Once more until the breach dear friends, once more” speech.
26. my daughter’s hamster face sticking out of our wooden play castle!
27. four, fluffy, new deep purple bath towels.
28. listening and dancing to different soundtracks.
29. reading Green Eggs and Ham for the first time again.
30. my biggest boy sitting in front of fire, sketching a trebuchet.

Aww. Michele, thanks for the encouragement and walking alongside me in this mothering journey. It’s too bad that we as women don’t live in our mothers and grandmothers and other older women friend’s spheres as much anymore. You definitely are making a lasting memory of love with the meals with parents, helping your daughter, and spending time with your darling grandchildren. I definitely have things I regret and struggle with for sure – that’s why for me it’s SO important to remember the GOOD moments and the NOWS. ❤ ❤ <#
