Yesterday was a tough day for many reasons. Last night, after dinner at one of our favorite places, Daniel and I came home and went for a brief walk.
The wind began to stir the air to luscious. We took chairs outside and sat for a moment or two before our neighbor across the street walked over to chat. We talked until the sunlight faded to dusk. Then she went home, and we went in.
This morning, I'm listening to the rush of traffic on 9 Mile Road, my back door open to the cool September morning. I'm drinking coffee out of my Starbucks cup. I'm thinking of making this a day of quiet simplicity to soothe the stress of a difficult week.
Maybe I'll even have time to do some creating.
