It was so nice to come home from work today and find my Boston daughter and her two friends here for the weekend. They have this “college reunion” weekend every year and this is the seventh year they are here. I just told them they were going for ten and in unison they yelled, “Stop!” – they will all be over thirty by then. I laughed. Such “kids”.
It’s a gray, cool, damp day here today on the cape. Not a beach day so I had my girls here in the house for the afternoon and evening. We watched a movie, sat cuddled up with our devices, enjoying a quiet, restful afternoon. They made some wonderful sangria, paired with a Brie and jelly bread along with homemade pita chips and avocado dip. We ordered a pizza and settled in for the Patriot – Giant game. So nice!
And so, as another day goes by, simple pleasures once again emphasize the best parts of life, and…I have written.
Your attitude of gratitude is always so inspiring… I have been mindful of “what makes me grateful, not hateful”, since I read it this week. Thanks for the gifts, girlfriend. Love u.
Uh… You helped on this journey and I love you for it. 🙂
