Inspired by Soulemama to name ten good things I've come up with the following list.
Simply ten
the time and preparation going into Ben’s 5th birthday party, giving me time to meditate on the love I have for him and on who he has become over these 5 years
a boy who still wants his mama to make him things and insisted on a birthday shirt
early morning fog as the backdrop to these vibrant fall colors
the changing light and its signal of the changing seasons
making new friends
watching Ben make friends
rediscovering life without a cell phone and realizing that it is at once more simple and more complicated
warmer temperatures that have allowed for open windows and after dark outdoor play
the occasional crow of our rooster who is beginning to slowly discover his voice
discovering that a child of mine actually enjoys and excels in math
Happy Birthday Ben! Be sure to show the shirt!
