I woke up to a beautiful, sunny Saturday morning with absolutely no plans.
It was a nice way to step into the weekend.
My body clock had me up at 6am. I made coffee and step outside to my patio.
It was already warm, heat promising to make an entrance. I turn on the sprinkler to give my parched lawn a drink.
My phone pings with a text. Today was a wedding in London. Was I watching?
No, I respond…and then thought better of it.
I turn on my television in time to see a beautiful bride and her handsome groom in uniform share a kiss. And then the television cuts over to an update on the horrific school shooting in Texas.
I turn off the television.
I move the sprinkler.
Water runs over my bare toes.
Good and bad. Light and dark. Happiness and tears.
I make pancakes.
Sending you love and happiness.
