the little red swimsuit

ah the lazy days of summer vacation. a quiet retreat for my soul. the boys shouting Good Morning to the waves as the sun rises above the sea. sand between my toes, Will swimming for the first time without floats. writing. a lot. about what I want to do with my life. then realizing, putting down my pen and diving into the pool where my husband and sons were playing. thinking, this is it. this is my life, and this is where I want to be.

contemplating

watching Sean plunge his head into a bowl of cereal and milk this morning. something about his cheeks, his little fingers. for a few minutes I stood there, without saying a word. leaning on the kitchen counter. enthralled by the innocence, by the beauty of his soul.
