The wisdom of Annie Dillard is what I have been working on lately--the quote. Every day seems to rush by, like the wind in my ears. I sometimes catch a song, sometimes a siren, sometimes a baby crying, sometimes laughter. So, if I simply give over to each day, I will increase the odds of hearing something good instead of an empty whistle as I try to catch the wind. This picture is of my dad, Zoey (3 years) and Ollie (almost 4 months) at the zoo. Zoey had been running around the playground, very independent. Ollie had just suffered the Chandler indignity of being changed pretty much anywhere. We had a good day.
It is such a conflicting part of my life that my parents and family live far away. I love my life, and I wouldn't want it to be different, but when we are together it is bittersweet. It is always fleeting--the wind again. But, I make the most of it.
Anyway, summer has been lovely. Lots of rain and storms, which I enjoy. Others have hated the tempermental weather, but I love it. Summer school has been a trial, but interesting as well. I know I will definitely transfer to a high school position when I get a chance.
Vacation in a few short days. I can hardly wait to walk in my old spots in new shoes :)
