I love
Sleeping with the windows open
Waking up to the birds chirping
Listening to country on the drive to work
Admiring the beauty of morning fog
The excitement that recess brings to a six year old
And remembering back to when I was so little
Reading Charlotte’s Web under the shaded trees
And the sadness, but also pure contentment I will feel as we finish the book this afternoon
Drives home with the car windows down
And afternoons spent out in the front sun room
Checkered shirts and stripes for days
Chicken sandwiches with extra mayo and burritos with sour cream
Walking through the Back Bay with sunshine on my shoulders
And the promise of spring in the hundreds of buds starting to bloom
Cheering on the best basketball team I know
Holding my breath and my fists so tight
And screaming with strangers
And joy in my soul
I love that good spring feeling
I love the warm light as the sun floats down
I love friendships that run deep
And laughter in the little things
I love Fridays
And weekends
And sleeping in
And nights with no plans
And taking walks
And holding hands.
