right now.

because i have a whole summer with the kids
and as much time with them as i like.
and they plucked my perennials from the garden
and put them in a kid cup. just for me.

because my niece and nephew
are here, in this world.
safe and sound. ready to be loved.
finally. (my L&D mind can take a breather!)

because i've discovered new things about me
that challenge me.
and make me happy.
and ready to be challenged.

so, right now is good.
and i'm grateful.
