Ten.One Thousand, Four Hundred & Eighty

1. The days are getting shorter again.

2. More water.

3. Virtual book club. I love that we take it chapter by chapter. I love that, at least in this moment, it feels as though we are sitting together in a shared space.

4. I sit in the sun. A surprise encounter.

5. We pick the table toward the back in front of a wall of greenery.

6. We decide that we still get to celebrate.

7. Keep practicing non-attachment.

8. The coach keeps reminding the kids to go to be early, stay off the video games at night, drink lots of water. The boys are tired.

9. A wave of nostalgia at the setting sun and the sound of cleats on the pavement.

10. I take my time today because this is what I miss most. Arugula salad with peaches and goat cheese. Baked macaroni and cheese. Grilled pork tenderloin. 2018 Lioco Sonoma Coast Laguna Pinot Noir.
