"Why?"

Why?

If the answer to Am I the only one? is never yes, why does being human feel so lonely sometimes?

This morning I dropped off my kids at daycare and the bus stop for camp.

On the way to daycare, my daughter sang, "Over In the Meadow."

Her brother listened and helped her remember the words.

As she sang about robins flying, three, a cloud of sparrows flew overhead, moving around us as we drove up the seasonal road where we have lively debates about the difference between a puddle and a pond.

Tilia starts Kindergarten in a few weeks, just a few weeks left with our dear friend, Chris Evans, for now.

When I say Chris Evans helps me raise my kids, I mean it. We cannot do this alone and her influence on our children is a gift. Hence: Tilia singing "Over In the Meadow, " and Jacob helping her remember the words.

They can be so kind. They have wonderful imaginations. They get to be among peers. Jacob is older now, and goes to camp instead of daycare, but he was one of Ch…

Letters 8-15 -- Snail Mail Project

Letters 8-15 have been written. There was an accumulation, but I did write one letter per day. I finally got to the Post Office late last night to drop them in the blue box.

The daily routine of having a letter to write is calming. It is a natural and helpful transition to another project I've started, of writing one poem each day. I'm on Poem 11. This daily writing practice is something I've strived for--I'm pleased and grateful to finally make it happen.

My next goal is to get back to running. There was a time when I would run and bike on a regular basis, and I miss it. So I'm going to sign up for a 5K--but give myself plenty of months to prepare. Here goes!

This past weekend I was in Milwaukee for the official Book Launch Event for "Family Stories from the Attic". (click the link to find ways to purchase the book) From the back cover:
Family Stories from the Attic is an anthology of essays, creative nonfiction, and poetry inspired by family letters, ob…
