Day 3,226

Growth:

There’s something about the sound of Paradise by Coldplay that hooks me and brings me along for the ride. By the end of the song I’m pulled along by the undertow. Somehow I missed the following line through all these years of listening to it…

And so lying underneath those stormy skies she’d say, “I know the sun must set to rise.”

What a beautifully useful lyric!

Appreciation:

This evening saw eight of us sitting around the kitchen table for dinner – the four of us, the boys’ girlfriends, and my niece and her boyfriend. So much fun talking, joking, eating, and relaxing together!

Presence:

Gavin and I took off for an hour to get him done additional practice driving a manual transmission. Throughout our time we laughed, we talked, and he learned. I was so impressed with his ability to give himself some grace and continue to learn through practice. That was an hour I’ll remember forever with him – such presence in that collection of moments with him!

Thanks!!!
