today:

i smelled freshly cut grass
i wore pink
i thought about calling in sick to work
i sneezed........a lot
i wondered how the sky could be so blue
i heard birds singing
i drove with my sun roof open
i watched pink cherry blossoms wave against puffy white clouds

and so it begins.
hello again, spring.

you're a sight for sore eyes



we sat on the train and watched the world
go
by...
but not just any world....

his world.

and
though
the eyes of a
4 year old
everything
becomes
a
miracle.




i took her frail hand in mine
and she said
"so you see dawn, this is my dying time"
and
even though i searched desperately for a band aid
to try and
fix
it
there were none
to
be
found.




it might be time for glasses when:

1. you end up calling tokyo when you're ordering a pizza
2. you check the number and then call tokyo again
3. you answer the phone in your best sexy voice complete with invitation for naughtiness and then realize the name you read was not your husband's but the pharmacy calling to tell you that your prescription is ready
4. you realize you're wearing purple socks with brown pants when you get into the office because "the light is better there"
5. you successfully rationalize to yourself that you're not really getting older and need glasses but that you just want to make a fashion statement
6. people tell you that they're getting tired of you asking "is this a 9 or a 7?"
7. you set the restaurant on fire when you hold your tea light up close to the menu in an effort to get enough liight to read it



it's
what happens
between the stuff we thought
would happen
but
hasn't

and
the stuff that we still
anticipate might
happen

the stuff
we
make
happen

and the stuff
we don't
want
to
happen
but deal
with
anyway.
