So, final grades are turned in, spring/summer cleaning somewhat underway and a new stack of library books beckons me like a siren song. Read me. No, wash the blinds first-then read me. My beach chair is covered with pollen and winter's dust. Soon. Very soon I'll unfold it and embrace the season. Crossword puzzles, whodunnits and lots of suntan lotion (fulfilling a promise I made to myself). Then, when the water finally warms up, kayaking in the bay and maybe my ocean wave skimmer too-must be braver this summer.
Opening up our beach house has been bittersweet as it's the first summer without my Mom. Last August we shared some wonderful visits, both of us knowing, but not saying, that it would be her last. We laughed and cried as we struggled with outside showering, back massages and hair styling. The woman packed more into a day than most many years younger. Cards, dominoes, a trip to AC and the Irish Pub, and then home to rest. Hitting the jackpot on the penny slots and hearing her whoop was priceless. Five thousand pennies!!!
Today's theme: Love, love, love...and live with no regrets. Live with intention.
