Enjoying the moments

Today was a good day.

I wasn’t feeling anxious.

I wasn’t feeling rushed.

I wasn’t feeling pressured.

I RELAXED in the morning.

Then I headed outdoors with the kids and dog.  I also had my book in hand.

It was sunny.  There was a hint of lovely warmth in the sun.

It slowly drew out more children from the  complex.   Pretty soon Adam and Caity were surrounded by fellow spring breakers.  Bikes were flung about, ramps were built, and then Adam led them off to the woods around the complex to play ‘Star Wars.’

I sat on a park bench nearby and listened for any sounds of dissent or hurt….almost ‘helicoptering’ but not quite.

I read my book.  I ate the chocolates in my pocket.  I listened to the birds.

We did that for over three hours.

Then one by one, vaguely concerned parental units came by to find their kids.  We packed up the bikes and helmets and sidewalk chalk and headed inside.

We waited for the arrival of my  best friend.

We had wine.

We headed out for sushi.  It was yummy.   The kids bemused us with their hysteria and mess.

We came home so Adam could demonstrate Ben ten videos and Caity had to show them her Disney Princess games.

Then there was some Guitar Hero.

No real  tension.

Relaxed.   Not worrying about the big stuff all the small stuff.

I suppose I was not good at the conversations…but I was just enjoying the company.

A good day.
