So...
Last night.
Again this morning.
A fox.
Maybe the same one.
He's been hanging out in our neighbor's yard...
...alongside our fence line.
I know when he's there.
Finn barks his presence to the world and beyond.
The funniest thing?
Ever since I spoke about not seeing one....I've seen them.
So here I am saying, thinking...
...don't call me crazy...
...whatever it is you want
...whatever it is you're working on
...whatever it is that might fill your heart
Share it out loud.
Speak it into existence.
It must leave your head.
It will be heard.
If the universe doesn't help you with it...
...someone here will.
True story.
Trial and error...
Accept that things can (and will) get messy...
...and there will be plenty of fun in between.
That last summer snuggle...
Multi-day Celebration...
17...
Today she’s 17.
It’s raining.
She slept thru her alarm.
Down the stairs.
A quick hug and ‘Happy Birthday’.
Then off to school she went.
No photos — maybe later.
Me, just soaking her in.
Here we are.
Last year of high school.
Driving.
Boyfriend.
College on the horizon.
All of the things.
At once.
Poof!
Seems like overnight.
Me, just soaking her in.
This is the way.
Here we are.
I’m full.
Glassy-eyed.
Excited for all that’s to come…
…but in no rush.
Throwing out my anchor — staying here awhile.
Best chapter yet.
