Today

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I ended a contract that was no longer valid.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.
