stay in the moment

I like to look forward to things: events, birthdays, new challenges. In doing so, I often miss the opportunity to enjoy today. So, today I enjoy my laptop, bringing out the summer clothes and shoes for the wardrobe shift, listening to Anna, and folding warm and clean laundry. I am so thankful for good friends that listen and do not judge, for big squeezing hugs, and the card I received from a client on Friday reminding me that my work makes a difference.

Today, Anna told me that her foot hurt. I said, 'Whaaaat?' mock surprised because something always hurts on that girl. She said, "I know, right?" She kills me.

KJ is looking forward to graduation. He completed his FAFSA and sent it to the correct school. About to put the grad announcements in the mail, and am planning his graduation party for May 30. I am enjoying my last days of mothering a minor.
