Today I'm taking a friend to see an art show in the city. I've been meaning to get to the show before, and it's nearing the end at this point. To do this I must face traffic and probably commute clog returning, so it becomes an all day outing. I haven't seen this friend in quite a while, so the trip will be good from that point of view.
I printed out a bunch of new photos of our granddaughter yesterday. I miss her so much, and she's growing so fast. It was adorable to see how her face expresses her feelings so well. It was kindergarten week, and there was trepidation, joy, worry, pride, the whole gamut. She had on carefully picked out necklaces and bracelets, in her snowy white socks and little dresses. How brave we have to be as we grow up. Her little life is as complex and demanding as any adults', and yet people talk up kindergarten as if it's all sunshine and flowers. It's more, much more, and for a while we are overwhelmed, then we carve our way into that new life, and make our place in it. But it isn't easy, it's never easy.
