a note, of sorts

write a letter to yourself a year from now. what things are happening right now that you won't want yourself to forget?

she would want to remember the feelings of frustration over not being able to get things done in a timely manner. and the need to have it all done now and not later.

she would want to recall watching her oldest son get taller than herself. and his attitude change from child to adult and then back to child in the blink of an eye. she would want to remember how pretty the snow looked on the ground when it reflected in the very early morning winter sunshine. she would want to remember how beautiful her daughter looked and how proud she was of her when she went up on stage so bravely and gave her reply to the actress on stage.

she would want to remember the winter music concert and how her son was first trumpet and how proud he was of that, and how proud she was! how impish her youngest son was and how truly funny he was as well.

she would want to remember how much her second born tried to make everything work out right and how hard he worked to help his younger siblings get things right. and how sweet he was!
