Things I Saw

Things I Saw Today:

- Rynn riding her own bike to her new school, giggling with happiness the whole way there
- a maple red with the sunburn of autumn
- at least four paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago that moved my mind to consider my own humanity and the reflection of reality through art
- my dog leaping the waves of Lake Michigan in pursuit of a yellow tennis ball
- my husband's smile
- Eleanor sewing her own stuffed animal out of a lonely outgrown sock and then taking that stuffed "animal"/sock to cheer her on at soccer practice
- an invisible sailboat drawn on soapy skin in a warm bath

Things I Heard Today:
- "Mommy, you are so special to me. I love you."

Things I Thought Today:
I am richly blessed.
