~spring feelin'~

So this week has been a bit sad and full of worry and work. Also, it's brought Brock a year older and Gary as well. (My pictures do not load again, so getting them on here is now another challenge for the technically disadvantaged: me :)

Words escape me, but this is truth: where there is life, there will be also death.

There have been a plethora of things circulating in this mind of mine...life is so busy as of late.....

Here are a few things I know today: My husband, Gary, was born to coach. This I know. I've seen it over twenty years as he worked passionately in the field he loved. I know he misses it. It is a part of who he is and the talent is natural with how it flows on the field and out of the players......I miss that for him. Believe me, it made our life busy...but I know it is what he was born to do. Another thing, my kids are growing up amid this busy life...I must carve some downtime to slow and just be with them. I miss Vermont in the spring.....about a year ago today I was skiing for the last time with the boys on Okemo and Hilly, Ava, and I took a snowy spring hike on Mt. Tom. I remember the smell of March and its feel after the snow melted. April brought the promise of summer........today's weather reminds me of an April. I can tell 40 feels a little older, and although the changes are subtle, there is change in everything here and the people. Change is constant. Feel up for Mary Oliver? I do believe I do. 

“to live in this world

you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go” 
― Mary Oliver,

Such a hard thing to do.......

One more thing: I would like to clone myself much like the movie Multiplicity..........yes, that is all.
