Today I am Loving {142}

When you have had a night of the battle dreaming,

there is comfort in the morning coffee, hood-up hoodie, 

and newly arrived plaid slippers.

Today I am Loving {141b}

When you are checking on your pond, and notice that one of your frogs is playing on the Rocks, while the other still sits in the plant, and then suddenly there is a leap from near your foot and a dive into the water, and all you see are scissor kicks.

When there is this,

so ridiculous and yet so beautiful:

Today I am Loving {141}

When you wake up in the morning and stumble down the stairs headed to the coffee, sidetracked by a glimpse in the mirror and your hair, in righteous mess.

When the sweet boy enters your kitchen holding his book, walks right past you and your "hey," and sits down at your table totally absorbed, you leave him to it and flutter about, gathering together a few remaining objects necessary for the learning day; when five minutes into it you lean on the table next to him, to write down some things, and not a peep from him, and so you walk away and then past again and only then does he look slightly up, and only then does he say, 

"oh hey Miss Lauren, we were early, so I just thought I'd read," 

so sweet, so simple, as if he's happily surprised to find you there.

When He teaches  you of the boundlessness of abiding abounding, beyond long and ever always lasting, Love.

 When there are left-over carbs and cheese for lunch,

and left-over carbs and cheese for dinner,

and all were made with and for friends,

and all were most delicious.
