How lucky am I

June 27

I feel in love with our new city this week.

The kids and I took one afternoon out after school, heading downtown to the public library and then the large play park on the waterfront. After a delicious hour and a half flew by at the former, we parked at what I thought was the closest public parking lot to the play park.

Walking over, the water called to us and we decided to take the path along the beach until we came to the play area, rather than the usual sidewalk. Barefoot through the sand on a gorgeous early summer day, playful breeze off the lake, sitting in the sun, watching the kids explore and jump and spin and dig. It’s really no wonder at all that this town is growing as it is.

Once arriving at the park, I noticed a parking lot situated just on the other side of the play park. I think I’ll keep parking in the first one I found.

  • "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." — C.S. Lewis
