My Favorite Kind of Day

Walk in nature for an hour or so with my husband, blend up a kale-banana-peanut-butter-date smoothie once home, set it in my bike basket along with my computer, bike down to the Co-op to buy a warm loaf of Endswell Bakehouse sesame or wheat and brown sugar and oats bread, head to “my chair” at the library to write the endless books and articles I have brimming over in my head, jump into my husband’s Cross Country team workouts, then cuddle next to my kids and drift into dreamland as their slow breathing lulls me away. I am so grateful to have some days to myself for the first time in many years.
