Yay! Good idea! 2 years ago

1. My daughter “doing” my hair…and the fact that she’s old enough now to do it without causing me tremendous amounts of pain.
2. I’m ahead of the curve at work, for now.
3. I have a job that’s challenging enough that I’ll have to stay on my toes to keep ahead of the curve for long!
4. Thing 2 makes really cute noises when she uses mouthwash. Her face is even better than the sounds she makes!
5. I’m turning into a morning person, I think…

The wind chill factor 2 years ago

used to be measured far above ground level, when I was a kid.

Today, it is measured at ground level, at the place where actual human beings hang out to experience it.

Typically, the wind is stronger at any altitude than at ground level.

That would lead the casual observer to believe that the wind chills of recent years haven’t been so bad. The casual observer is wrong. It’s cold. Freakin’ cold.

My first real kiss 2 years ago

was in a tree on the shore of a very large lake, on a branch that hung way out over open water. I wanted to freeze time that day. I knew that summer was almost over, that fall would melt into winter. I knew that the heat of youthful passion would fade to a memory, that soon enough my first love would be just a memory—perhaps a silly one, at that. I believed that if I could stop time, I would always own the magic of that day. I would always be loved.

Now I know that the moment was never mine, nor have any of life’s moments been mine to manipulate. Time unfolds as it will. It surprises and shocks and crushes and astonishes. Moments delight and overwhelm, and they cannot be stopped or frozen.

Nevertheless, I had it half right—I have always been loved. It just took me decades to realize that it wasn’t about the moment. It was about ME.
