Moments of sun shining upon your cheeks as you look up toward
the sky at a picnic table during two ski competitions
Noticing your kids across the waterpark noticing you
noticing them
A walk to the beautiful stream without a picture
A long telephone conversation with your Mom curled up on
your favorite cushy chair looking at the snowflakes falling
Listening to the kids and their conversations in the car
and which girls and boy they like
Letting your mind wander to where it needs to go
Sleeping in until 9:55am.
Reading a great book as you wake up
Hardly a video or a picture-enjoying moments in the
present tense
Going to the grocery store for that day's meal in
particular
Blogging when you feel like it
Making time for family moments every day that create
memories
Not being aware of what is going wrong or right in your friend’s
lives
Making homemade soup and freezing some for your Mom’s
upcoming surgery
Looking through Avon catalogues and ordering cheap
lipsticks
Taking long showers and using your travel conditioners to
remind you of the beach
Washing your hair to a silky shine everyday.
Taking time to figure out what is wrong –or right
Dreaming into the future
Accepting change and adapting well
Playing it by ear
Planning to sell your home in 10 years
Waiting for her slow smile
Reading his texts and laughing to you how cute they are
Dreaming of his future
Not knowing who your news boss will be
Not knowing if your bonus went into your account
Having no clue who sent you what dumb joke
Looking outside towards nature
Not knowing how much the renovations will cost
Not caring
Giving them this time for them
Giving you this time for you
Cherishing the beauty of not knowing and not caring
Carefully remaining in the dark
What is missing? Have you guessed me yet?
It
is being on vacation at the cottage for a week and not checking business or personal
email not even once until the very last day before it all ends and reality sets
back it. For both of us. A pact. A promise we made and kept.
Hard, Difficult habit to break. It has been heavenly
Don’t worry reality waits around the corner ready to take
hold of us again soon
Tonight is our last night to have not a worry in the
world
We will soak in every last precious moment.
