As I'm opening my eyes this morning, Leonard rolls over to me and suggests we go on a bike ride before it gets too hot. This is something we love to do, and have done in the past. In translation, I ride the bike while he runs the 7 miles we've made our route. It sounded great to me, so we quickly got up, get breakfast for LL and me and off we go.
The morning was beautiful. Cool but bright and everyone was in a good mood. For the next 7 miles, I got to just enjoy my family. LL and I talked, getting excited about all the trucks that passed us along the way and looking for big spider webs spun in the bushes. My husband and I traveled in mostly companionable silence, with brief spurts of conversation.
This is what makes my life whole. These are the moments that give meaning to my world. I love my family and I love spending good quality time with them. I'm so grateful for what I have.
When we got home, I packed for a couple of hours and when LL took his nap...I did too. The day has been great.
