The best moments of late have come when I’ve settled in.

The other day with Oliver outside…

…sitting along the curb.

Our feet nested in the sump pump run-off.

A few random toys.

A beer.

Acceptance of what is/was.

Listening to him.

Taking direction from him.

Being there.

In it.

Letting all of my worries/thoughts take a backseat…

…while we soaked in our waterfront property.
