Taking those extra steps down for iced tea ice
Beach side onion rings
First peas on our plants
Time pieces in the mail
Found air conditioning
One-on-one days

Your Children
Your children are not your children,
they are the sons and daughters of life's longing for itself.
They come through you but are not from you,
and though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

Two perfectly sweet babies on weekend adventures
First reaches, stretches, and wiggles across the floor
Sunshine, blue skies, warm nights
Evening bike ride to the squirts
Pretty, pretty mugs

Productive mornings
Your heavy sleepy head on my shoulder
Admiring you curled in my arms through your dresser mirror
Lounging with a laughing little girl on my lap in the quiet afternoon
Your first mamas - so much concentration and effort

Catching up on years of missed movies.
An emerging awareness of how to turn things around.
This land of beautiful beaches
Contended beach drives
Happy beach babies

Sleeping baby boy in arms.
Little girl blossoming into sweetness.
Surprise appearances by a fountain-bound family.
Watching her hold her own, know herself, follow her heart.
His big, easy, heart that radiates and seeks and then takes us all in.

Finding our groove
Beautiful brother visits
A small boy filled with joy, my joy
Late evening front garden weeding
Branches dancing their storm-coming dance
Lilacs replaced with buttercups

Supermarket I love yous
A little girl opening to the hearts of others
Two top little boy teeth peeking through at last
Small, eager and happy neighbourhood flier helpers
Clouds parting, hot afternoon sun

Sunshine, finally sunshine
Night time bike rides, down hills at dusk
Looking up - trees - and over - stately homes - and being in the beautiful moment
Pink dressed and pig-tailed dancing little girl
Poster walk with my small poster pals
Birthday thoughtfulness, such love
Refreshed, simplified shelves

Little ones who are so so lovely on long days out
Flowers bursting in bloom and front step flower surprises
The incredible, humbling, grounding, astounding, huge beauty of this place
Being able to buy cool wares (and cool beers) locally
A movie! A movie! A movie (and 7:30 wake ups the next day)

A happy, hoppy, funny girl.
Imagining this cold as a long fall not a missing summer.
Bicycle freedom, warm winds, with coffee in hand.

You
Close your eyes and imagine the best version of you possible. That's who you really are, let go any part of you that doesn't believe it.

Each Day
Each day is, in a certain sense, a complete life by itself. It has its own duties, own trials, own burdens, and its own needs. The very best we can do for the perfecting of our life as a whole, is to live the one day well. We should put all our thought and energy and skill into the duty of each day, wasting no strength, either in grieving over yesterday's failures or in anxiety about tomorrow's responsibilities.
