A beautiful Thursday . . . minus the rain and colder weather . . . it has been a beautiful day.
Presence . . . being in the presence of good people . . . people who love me. . . people with whom I can simply be . . . saved me today . . . saved me this week.
Simple presence . . . has been a very beautiful gift to me lately. In my less than happier moments this week, I've made the choice to simply be around people . . . and it has totally made the difference. And it wasn't about having some deep and heavy conversation . . . or letting the darkness that has been rolling around inside out (though I am sure I could have done that if I needed to) . . . it was just about being with people.
About taking a walk to the park and racing down the slide.
About sharing a meal with family.
About losing horribly at "PIG" . . . but laughing hard . . . as I made feeble attempts at making a shot.
About conversation about the little things . . . the daily grind of life.
About building a block tower and watching Spiderman climb to the top.
About walking to the pizza store . . . a new and fabulous tradition.
About good friends and good conversation.
About helping clean up at the end of the night.
About a simple ride home in the rain.
Presence . . .

I finally thought of a game I could beat you at (maybe). At least I was a champion at it in 4th grade. Four square. This summer the squares will be drawn, the ball will be bought, my back yard will become a haven for 4 square. we will need to find 2 others though. maybe, we could join an allience with each other, and take on the world.there will be no stopping us then. Sound good?Rachel

may God give you many more days like these....
