At the moment, I am in a good place

Same usual things are present: chair relocated to a strange location, unsure what I will find when I open a cabinet

But, in this moment, I have let the frustrations I might have with those annoyances go

Its my morning quiet time right now

Matt sleeps in

This week has been filled with family and friends

A good mix

My cousins Brad & Judy are with us from Virginia

I was 10 years old when he was born

So he was the first of many baby cousins who joined our family back then

Being back in Virginia the last 7 years gave us a great chance to rebuild our relationships as adults

What a powerful gift family is

Investing time in relationships is so meaningful to me

This is their first time in California, so we have been packing it in

I think its been overwhelming for Matt

Barb was so intuitive, she saw that coming

She came up yesterday to Marin to take Matt on a hike

I can’t thank her enough for making the trek up, carving out time to be with her brother

Its morning, its quiet, the dog is acting out a nap dream……yeah, I am in a good place……in this moment
