summer night

i just got home from an evening walk with my 70-something year old neighbor.  it feels like tonight was a little gift to me from God.  He knew just what i needed.  to get out.  to have company.  to see and hear kids on summer vacation, laughing and riding their bikes together.  to smell the flowers in bloom.  to see the beautiful sky as the sun was setting behind purple clouds.  to watch the fireflies guiding me home.  things that would shake off the weird mood i was fighting today.  things that would make my heart feel full.

i'm going to bed tonight a thankful girl.  i pray this summer holds more nights like tonight - for me, and for you, too, dear ones.  much love.
