and appreciate everything.
I got this advice tonight and I really love it.
What was I supposed to be doing on this blog? Reading ... writing about it ... right. Seems we've gotten wildly off topic. Right now I'm (finally!) reading No one Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July and I have a great post in mind. Frankly, though, I just don't have the energy to write anything especially intelligent right now. My days are too full of writing, of editing.
What I do feeling like doing is ticking through the things I appreciate/love in life, beacause it's a nice pastime and my husband's not home from his business trip yet. I'm a little bored (and thankful for it, trust me). I thought about including a list of things here, but that (I think) would prove a bit redundant, and by now there are obvious themes running through my posts. I love my husband and my son and the way they love me, I love my family and friends, I love the way my life is unfolding, I love the little things. I love sitting by the fire right now, knowing that in just a few months I'll be writing posts like these from a couch on our screened-in porch. I'll be watching the trees, which will once again make me feel like there isn't another house around for miles, and listening to the hum of cicadas. And since we're no longer moving in, this time I'll be gloriously bored.

Are you enjoying July's book? It's one of those books I find myself squirming while reading, yet continue to come back to, even months later to re-read.
Yay for screen porches, and backyards and cicadas. All of my favorite things.
It was so wonderful to see you three today. Nicky and Abby are going to be good buddies or perhaps girlfriend and boyfriend :) I loved watching them interact, they are both too precious for words. I hope your dad's birthday dinner was fun.
I love the way you write, I love it so much I just read this post out loud to Robert. I too am looking very forward to spring and summer, ahhh I cannot wait! :)
XOXO
