June 16, 2011- Little Swimmer

I am so grateful for community.  

For my little girl with big courage.  

For evening swim meets in the summer when it’s so hot you can’t see straight and there’s strangers cheering on each other’s kids and smiles and popsicles and goggles and whistles and lots and lots and lots of children. 

Making memories and friendships.   More importantly, watching your children do the same. 

Letting my little swimmer learn life skills.  

Sitting by in amazement of her little heart with such bravery.

The four of us.   Having fun.   Summer nights.

This is how he looked….

And how I felt.  All day long.

June 11, 2011- Hot Yoga

That’s it.

First time ever.

Loved it.  

Deserved it.  

Soaked (literally) every moment of it up.

::::::::::::::::::::::

Grateful today for new experiences, for finding time to find time for myself and for feeling wonderful all day long.

::::::::::::::::::::

Find it- make time- whatever it is that lets you breathe easier.

Today, for me- hot yoga.

Pacific.

My moment of the day.

As in, “Mommy!  Can you believe I found this pacific breed of dog in our toy bin?”

 

Precious.

So honored today to have his story shared.     

So humbled to have others enjoy my writing.

So excited about the potential… for us both.

June 8, 2011- Dinner

Dinner with my family.   It’s far less often than I would like anymore and yet tonight it happened.   We worked in our garden, grabbed fresh food from the Farmer’s Market and sat together for a meal.

Simple and so important.  Treasured moments over spilled milk and pleads for dessert.  Smiles over bare feet in the grass and little hands catching crickets.

Mid week.   Dinner together.  No one having any commitments to anyone but ourselves.

Perfect.

June 7, 2011- Sharing

I saw someone post on facebook today congratulations to a group of kids.  They were doing good service to others and when they were congratulated, it was said in the form of ‘way to share what you have.’

:::::::::::::::::

Whatever it is you have… 

I love photography and during two swim meets this week, I made it a point of taking wonderful pictures of not only my children but of the four ladies’ children with whose company I so enjoy each morning during practice.   When they got home that night, beautiful edited close up pictures of their children were awaiting.

:::::::::::::::::

It’s not much.  Share what you have.   I like it.  Whatever it is.  How big or how small.
