i wish i had
a long post today
filled with glittery magical words
borrowed from a fairy
that you could tuck into your heart
and
carry with you until your head sinks into your down filled pillow tonight
but i don't
~
i wish i had
the energy to do all the things that need to get done today
but as i sit here typing
i've decided
everything can wait
that nothing is that important
today
~
well almost everything
~
there's a cool breeze blowing in my window
that's been absent for weeks
as
we've been suffering from the kind of humidity where particles floating in the air
actually stick to your body
so
today
i think it only fair
that if the only thing that gets checked off my
"don't really want to do it ever"
list
is maybe
oh
let's say
cleaning one toilet
while the rest of my day is spent with my hair blowing in the wind
while i close my eyes
and
soak up the sounds of the birds that sound happier than they did a few days ago
well
then
that would be a perfect day
wouldn't it

the photo above has nothing to do with today, but everything to do with the past 2 weeks while my sister and her family have been visiting. i got this shot after my nephew had finished showing me some of his mad skateboarding tricks and i just loved how he looked all sweaty and adorable.
Love a day where you sit back and just enjoy what's around you...one toilet cleaned is a successful day! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHe's cute!
ReplyDeleteMy parents are coming to visit and that makes me realize I've had way too many of the perfect days that you describe. Time for me to face the music and get all of the toilets cleaned...along with the rest of my house.
Enjoy your perfect day. I'll be thinking of you!
What a wonderful day you have spoken of. I feel relaxed already! You enjoy too! Great photo too!

I wish you had a magical post that made me stop and think again....oh, that's right, you do.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful, magical portrait!...those magical years...
ReplyDeletethat humidity has moved on over to RI today...no energy to even clean the toilets here...
He's got the smile that says he's truly feeling good about himself--wonderful to see in a teenager.
ReplyDeleteYour day sounds wonderful. I'm going to head on out to work on the bushes and flowers(not considered work to me, but a stress buster)while our sticky humidity gives us a break
I agree with you, all things can wait....enjoy the breeze. take care.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mop of hair on that head of his! Most women would give their eye teeth for that much hair.

That is a great portrait... and one clean toilet is all we ever really need, right? I hope that you enjoy the day no matter how you choose to spend it.
ReplyDeleteThis is great. Your nephew even reminds me of mine, with that adorable curly hair! Hugs, K
ReplyDeletehe is absolutely adorable!
ReplyDeleteEverything CAN wait - there is only now - enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIt sure was a sticky bones weekend, wasn't it? Don't know if you got the wet, but it was thick. Sometimes you just lay back. Clean the toilet and call it good for a day!
ReplyDeletei hope we get that cool breeze soon!
ReplyDeleteSweaty and adorable is a good thing for a mad skateboarder to look like. How fun to do nothing at all, especially cleaning the toilet. I hope you played today.
ReplyDeleteYes, a fabulous photo. And yes, the humidity has been like an ocean around me...until just a few minutes ago when it rained so hard that my basement flooded...I hope that you enjoyed your day and the breeze, and that wonderful, wonderful things blew through your hair.
ReplyDeleteIt is an excellent candid shot. Sometimes one toilet is enough of an accomplishment. You have to fill your soul.
ReplyDeleteThere is a softness and gentleness in your nephew's face. Kind of like you.
ReplyDeleteHe's a cutie, for sure. I'm in catchup mode after a couple of weeks away from the blog. I haven't commented on your other posts but I've read every one of them. Congrats to your parents.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before, I wish I had you around to take our family photos.
ReplyDeletelovely post Beth and what a gorgeous Model you have photographed- love his hair.
