two things…

“So I sit in my chair and watch and pray and root for them to find their way.” can i come to your pool, and be 16 and have you pray that for me???

“I will put on the ordinary miracles of drinking coffee in my sunroom, a sky so blue you wouldn’t believe it, and pushing a three-year-old “not too high” on a swing. They may not make everything that is wrong fall away, but they are miracles nonetheless.” let me just say, you are such a writer. and that was beautiful.

i hate having to let kids figure that stuff out on their own. i mean, i know it’s for the best, but i want to tell them how insignificant high school and all that drama is to the rest of their lives. but it’s almost like back to the future, you can’t change the future like that, because it would cause a rip in the universe.

Thanks for sharing that, Kari. Over the past year or two I’ve been acutely aware of how frequently I think of myself as the teenager I once was. I suppose my approaching high school reunion is the culprit (I can’t believe it’s been 10 years … today! Oh my gosh! It really is today!), but whatever the reason, it’s kind of amazing to me that I can be confident and secure in so many situations, but then so often I truly am mentally in the same space I was when I was 17.
