A few brief thoughts early in a short month

Everyone should have footwear that makes them feel like a rockstar.
And friends who remind them how special they are.
Seeing my children express their interests is the best part of parenting for me.
My excitement for travel remains undiminished.
February 2018 is the month in which one of my sons becomes an “adult” and the other becomes a teen. In theory at least.
Packing for a trip challenges me in a way that I enjoy. The measure of success for me is wearing every thing I’ve packed.
I believe there’s little in life that can’t be improved by fresh air, exercise and water.
Fresh flowers in my house are an indulgence that I never imagined being able to afford. PS most of my bouquets come from the grocery store or my own garden.
The days are getting longer, a fact which makes both cross-country skiers and folks who don’t like winter happy.
I try to avoid scheduling much on Sundays, but don’t truly relax until the sheets are changed and the papers are read.
In my retirement I want to explore yeast and dough. I love the smell, the magic and the kneading. Until then, it’s quickbreads and whisking.
Long runs are Sunday are never the same but always appreciated.
