living

This summer I did a few great things--

I tap danced.

I ate a lot.

I lost weight without even trying.

I cut my hair off and dyed it blonde and it's longer on the right side than on the left.

I flew back East for ten days and saw my family and swam in the lake.

I went to Boston and ate a salt bagel.

I touched the desk where Lousia May Alcott wrote Little Women.

I snuggled my kitties and laughed for hours and hours about them.

I was cast in a Big Important Role that somehow feels bigger and more important than other roles I've had.

I finally bought the green bathing suit I've been wanting for three years and a big floppy dock hat.

We secured a way to go to Europe next summer for a month.


In some ways it felt like I didn't even have a summer because I never stopped moving long enough to take it in and appreciate all the changes and growths and opportunities.

I am a lucky girl.
