Reading 'The Lover' in the hammock -- end of January and it's 65 degrees and feels hot! All these sexy books are having an effect on me...
In the afternoon, walking up and down the street with my two riding their little bikes. Watching confidence actually grow. When my daughter falls, I do not panic, so neither does she. Nor do I admonish her, as I did with my son, our firstborn, "Stay on the edge!" every second minute. So she is brave. What can I learn from this? Well, I have learned it, finally -- am putting it into practice with my children -- courage, letting go of fear. If only I'd learned it long ago.
We have a sitter on Sunday mornings now so my husband and I can both write, and maybe see each other, if only across a computer screen. A marvel. Can we afford it? I have no idea. Why didn't we allow ourselves this before?
