This day is a wedding anniversary for our older daughter, but they are divorcing, so I won't be sending flowers this year. Things change. But it does make me think back to that beautiful day, and all the family gathered and friends and flowers and great food and tears and all the turbulent components of such a celebration. Our granddaughter came from that union, and she is such a blessing, that I will always have happy memories of the wedding.
Today it's overcast and we are going to see the film "Chimpanzee" in the afternoon, as I've been curious about it since I read the reviews. My husband is still in his pajamas, working on his puzzle, and I am back from walking the dogs, and it's that kind of slow, cosy day. We can even walk to the movie, so everything is easy-peasy.
I'm reflecting on this change that occurs, and how it can be dramatic or slow, like my own aging, and yet, each moment is new and fresh and can be appreciated on its own, without fear or dread. We're in the flow of the river, and each drop is connected to others and we're all moving slowly then swiftly towards the sea. I'm attempting to relax in this river, and notice what is on the bank and up in the sky and under the surface. To be here, not fighting the flow, but part of it.
