{this moment} - A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember.
I have to put in a few words... All the following photos are from today. This was a crazy busy day. An imperfect perfect day. It had so many wonderful moments both in the activities and between the activities, in the pauses... Nia & I started the day with a walk & tree-climb with friends. Then I zipped off to a doctor appointment -- lymphedema OT, which included the exam table getting covered in prosthetic breasts (foobs) at one point (I was so dying for the nurse to step out so I could snap a picture!) -- then I zipped home again to get as much work done as possible before zipping into the kitchen to make dinner. Midway through making black bean soup I realized my "black beans" were actually kidney beans. By then there was no turning back. The soup ended up being delicious and we ate it out on the deck in the beautiful mild weather. After that, Nia and I went down to the park on her roller-skates and happened upon a girl practicing her tumbling routine in the otherwise deserted field. By the time we got home it was bedtime. In the dark, we whispered about our favorite things. Her favorite thing about today was the Giants winning 1-o (!). After Nia crashed out, Joe and I had to sit down and do the monthly finances -- something we've finally figured out is pleasurable when done together and with wine and good cheese. It only took us how many years together to realize this?? I want to savor this perfectly imperfect day.
