Good Day

These are the golden days, I know. Quiet Saturdays, sleeping in. First frost sparkling in the morning sun. Maia up early to watch TV, James asleep on the bedroom floor (that's another story!). Kitty curled up in her place. Randy stretched out in blissful unawareness.

These are the golden days. It won't be long before band contests and sports and school activities wake us early for long days on the run or the road. All too soon, friends and social events trump family most of the time. My friend Kim reminds me, as she sends her oldest off to college, that the day of separation comes sooner than later.

We are all four healthy, and we are here. So this morning, I'm delighting in the gift of a golden day.
