What I have enjoyed this summer.

Sleeping past six am.
Actually sipping my coffee in the morning.
Going out for breakfast with my husband.
Having the laundry caught up, everyday.
Being bored.
Shopping too much with my daughter.
No call.
Meals prepared with extra time.
Lunch with friends.
Physical therapy and the people I met.
Waiting for my kids to wake up.
Cooking a late breakfast.
Visiting.
Riding in the car while my daughter learns to drive.
Feeling less stressed.
Taking time for the small stuff.
Small stuff...listening, sitting, walking, talking.
Knowing where everyone is going.
No phone calls for, "mom can I go..."
I am here to ask.
Sweating in the sun.
Washing the dogs.
Being up when my son eats his fifth meal.
Knowing that was the last Gatorade.
Dusting.
Vacuuming.
Organizing.
I won't forget this summer.
I slightly recall the injury that was such a gift.
