four generations of monarchs make the migration of 8,000 km....it takes four generations....and when the distance demands it- it is that monarch generation that is....ready for it.....being larger and stronger to endure it.
also...
my daughter taught me that polar bears have black skin...to help keep them warm...adaptive...perfectly....what is needed...is what is there.
right now...
things that are making me happy and appreciative...
my favorite fuzzy blanket touching my feet...which is one of my favorite night time things....just...softness...as I squish the blanket with my feet....delightful.
smelling of a salt water pool....after the kids and I went for a swim....hair still damp and wavy...
tonight, watching my 6 year old daughter...in a hurry to grow up...talking to a 12 year old girl at the pool....for an hour. really connecting with the girl and having talks about school and friend issues...and seeing her face...completely glow....her smile was beautiful....and it was fun just watching her interact like that.
spending time with my son at the pool and always being close beside him...as we swims....always too bold...he completely has...no fear....and no doubt that I will be right next to him to offer a hand.
he is adorable.
listening to Jewel....lullaby music....as they slowly drift off to dreams....
and today...when a song came on from my youth...I recall my hometown...and think of it....with fondness....
but today...when a song came on.....from my youth...(some cheesy Richard Marx song)
I was actually driving in my hometown....and that was kind of cool....
we went to see a friend today....and as she walked us through her home...and told me all about each of the paintings she has...and showed me where she will hang two paintings I gave her...of siamese cats.
in her bedroom.
which is just....fantastic.
and later....she said,
"thank you for being you..."
and miracles.....because....sometimes it takes....just being quiet....to listen to the voices that tell you all day....
to appreciate the little things....that once in a while....you stumble upon a day....where you are listening enough...
so hear....every
single.
miracle.
as Einstein said....there are two ways to live your life.....one as though nothing is a miracle...and one as though....everything is.
peace...and love.....and appreciation...
