sunday.

npr. sunday morning.

french press pot of coffee.

horking internet on my front deck in a beautiful, sunny morning summer breeze.

how cats say so much with their eyes.

the squirrel i saw scampering up the fence.

the lizard on the stair.

talking to my brother on the phone. how sincerely he invests himself into all of our conversations.

missing him...which is a gratitude, because he is such a wonderful brother and dear friend.

reflecting with cheryl on all that i am grateful for.

that i have such a wonderful landlady who values such things.

the smell of breakfast wafting from my neighbour's kitchen.

the ladybug that graced my travel by lighting on my bag just as i was about to drive.

that i was able to transport her safely to my garden.

my text from jesse: " you have a strong heart. i rode my bike today. we are like long distance bike partners:) " [i cannot express how happy this thought made me]

being able to spend time with my mum.

completing my driving school/post accident, online at mum's

getting every question on the exam correct...[being nerdy and studious].

cooking dinner with mum.

single serve ice cream.

recalling that summer evening as a child when my mum and i lay out on the front stoop and watched that beautiful, dramatic storm pass with quite a show of lightning in the distance across the circumference of the sky.

that my family values such things.

being sent home from my mum's with a bag of kitchen scraps for my compost pile.

the delightful book i have begun reading.

the amazing andrea degens' instrumental, "change my world" on pantaleimon's "trees hold time" cd.

that i have a rental car until friday.

driving home beside the long freight train that i would cross over to enter the highway and getting off the highway to exit home and being stopped at the tracks for the same train some 35 minutes away.

that trains still make me wistful, but no longer sad.

psalms 30.
