Nows in Postcards 4

My biggest problem is that I think. My head is filled with all sorts of unwanted futures and pasts when it really needs to stay in the now. Now is making it to and from the grocery store before the rains hit. Now is making the bed before I leave. Now is finishing getting dressed from my trip to the pool…yes, the pool was warm but the air was ferociously cold.

Now is making menus of things that G can eat for the week. Pork chop with chunky apple sauce tonight perhaps with green beans or a salad with broccoli. Now is remembering other things too…like rice milk. Grocery shopping is a comforting ritual even if you hate to cook as I do.

Now is also working on my next black and white project. All new things this time.

• Himself: Gym first. Today he is at work and fine. Laundering and making bread too. He likes doing all this.
• Herself: Pool, groceries, read, cook, read.
• Reading: Working my way through Crais. I don’t have them all.
• Gratitudes: That I’m here today and smiling.
