We woke up on the good side of Grateful. The years, like the bouncing dots of a text message being replied to are quickly flying by. 

Resplendent with wonderful and some not so wonderful remembrances that have marched along with us, like dutiful soldiers.

Luckily, we have built lovely little corners for them in the attic of our minds. We call upon them. Reliable, friendly and filled with warmth. Likened to a movie we’ve watched before.

We know what’s coming and still look forward to the race of our hearts and the a-ha moments.

The cost of admission-down memory lane every penny (heads up) that we’ve saved to gain entrance, worth it. 

Through very little provocation we tap into them. We share our euphoric recall thru vivid pictures that we carry with us in our eyes only. Those moments in time that brought pink to our cheeks and offered a warm halo like glow. How bout those big smiles when the kids see you for the first time after camp ends. Yes, please.

And then, like the fleeting moment of the Robin Red Breast sitting upon your lawn who just stopped by to announce, Spring -it goes.

You start another project, read another book, or spend the day perfecting the new recipe you got for osso bucco. Lucky to have a new day to create a new moment. We Polaroid the feelings that having lunch with our childhood friend offers.

Perhaps document the look on a young childs face when they emerge from a cool swimming pool, wipe their eyes and plunge back under. Today we will steal a glimpse of another time of life as we skim through old photo albums and use the opportunity to create a place to call our own.

Make it a great Monday. Who knows perhaps secreted in this day you will recognize an opportunity that went unnoticed before.
