i love…

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 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 holding hands.
