Late this morning, we decided to do dinner with friends. Just a quick a potluck dinner with two couples and their kids…
Last minute plans. Nothing was over the top or wild and crazy, but everything was fun.
Kids, sparklers, grilling, sidewalk chalk, sprinklers, water guns, flags, families, fireworks, and so much fun.
Last minute plans- turning out to be the best laid plans.
Happy Fourth of July~

A day on the water with family.
Accepting and loving and fun.
Making memories and laughing too much
Watching the days fade and the children grow.
F ully aware. Loving and appreciating the moments and enjoying each other’s company with no worries or expectations or judgments.
Just being.
In the warm air.
With the wind and the water and the sky and the kids and the summer…..
And each of us knowing. Just how very special it all is.

I don’t know what I have ever done to deserve this kind of happiness in my day to day life….
But I am forever grateful.

Today is July 1. For some reason, and I don’t know if it’s accurate or not, today marks halfway through the summer.
That in and of itself is so mind boggling to me. It makes me sad because it’s going too fast for me…
But then I remember to my initial goal for the summer and I know that I am staying true to it. We have spent each day together and have filled them with love and happiness. In the beginning of the summer, you’ll remember that I vowed to do my best each day to enjoy them where they are, love them far more than necessary and appreciate every moment our hot sweaty summer days together.
Halfway point.
Done. For sure.
And with that… let’s keep going- there’s only good to come!

Perhaps the stars are aligning….perhaps it was sheer luck (or should I say shear luck)… perhaps I shouldn’t care what it was (and I don’t) and just be thankful.
Today- at the last minute I found a babysitter.
Today- at the last minute I found two hours.
Today- at the last minute I found an appointment with a hairdresser.
::::::::::::::::::
That’s it. A wonderful two hours not tending to anyone or anything. Knowing the kids were safe and fine and finding a quick moment to add myself to my list of things to do.
Did. And Done.

Little moments… like these…. interspersed into the busyness of my days….
Reminding me that all of the busyness is really nothing but good.

with responsibilities and accountabilities.
farewell to the weekend and it’s luxuries.
