Inspired by Amanda Blake Soule (SouleMama), I love the idea of stopping periodically to take in the present moments and reflect on life as it is. So, I will follow her tradition.
Right now, I am
~lost in reflection on how it can be that my first-born completed Kindergarten on this day.
~revelling a little bit at having a clean(ish) kitchen for 2 days in a row.
~thinking about how soon I will be able to get to the umpteen sewing projects I have swimming in my head.
~reminding myself that they are only little once and not to worry about aforementioned sewing projects quite so much.
~wondering how many times I will say that this is the year I will can/ferment/pickle/otherwise preserve the bounty of my garden and the gardens of my local farms until it is true.
~planning a summer virtually free of camps and other busy programming.
~including lots of exploring and creative thinking in my plans for our wander-full summer yet to come.
~trying hard not to wish the summer away, as I always do, because Nature makes it just that uncomfortable to be outside.
~writing down all the local free summer concerts in my calendar to better “seize the summer.”
~smiling in my mind about how lucky I am to be a mama and partner in this priceless family, nurturing community and beautifully complex world.
What are you up to, right now?
