Today I drove around splashing through puddles with my car and laughed with three kids a laugh that was long overdue.
I gathered wild flowers and spoke to people whose names I do not know.
I got a bike.
I said sorry.
I was entitled the best Mom ever.
I ended a contract that was no longer valid.
I played ball.
I rode a scooter.
I was serenaded by my sister.
I saw baby geese.
I laughed with friends.
And I think I grew wings because tonight I soared.
I awoke dreaming of what I couldn’t have, not today anyway
But got a morning full of richness
Coffee from an exotic place brought warmth to my belly
Children going to school without me, I stayed in my nightie until 10.30
A run in the rain with a happy dog and a laughing girl
A man shouting after me “I love the rain” with a Polish accent
Made me smile
A call from a very beautiful woman
I love my friend
I’m not alone
Dancing to Latin music in the kitchen
The heat on in my hundred year old house
A lunch with salmon and peppers of red, yellow and orange
And it’s not even 2 o’clock yet!
