8:16pm and all is well

i could write you a  list of everything that has delighted me in the last two days.

i won’t.

i could write you a list of everything that made me sad in the last two days.

i won’t.

i could write you a list of everything that exhausted me in the last two days.

i won’t.

i could write you a list of everything that i ate in the last two days.

i won’t.

instead, i will share with you my favorite image of the last two days:

A__ is fast asleep in my arms and the clock reads an astonishingly early 8:16pm.

sometimes the extraordinary is overshadowed by the ordinary.
