what I want to remember

This photo from last weekend. The pink sun light and look, a sweat shirt - big comfy one at that! Coffee, always coffee. I can't imagine mornings without it. I gave up chocolate a few months back but coffee will always be a part of my life.

I want to remember the quiet and calm in my home after busy weeks at work. I want to remember that Tori said this summer went by so fast. Her being home the most, I was glad she didn't say say it was the worst. It hasn't been our typical summer around here.

I want to remember the table that I had out for donation is now at the front entry covered in plants. When I see it, it reminds me of my mom. My norm is to always back into my driveway but the times that I don't I enjoy seeing it there. I think I will change it up with the seasons. Mums in the fall and and bulbs in the spring. I'm thinking about what will look good for the winter months.

I want to remember how I noticed the light change this week and how I felt the pull of wanting to spend more time inside reading, knitting and sewing.  I want to remember that I had cash in my purse all week, and I didn't spend it. Not a single afternoon coffee stop or mindless purchase.

I want to remember that Josh cleaned his room finally. He always does things on his own time and that Tori made the JV soccer team. I want to remember that Tallie is so excited for her upcoming school year and all the friends she has made through out her high school.

I want to remember eating my own tomatoes, cucumbers and zucchini and the walk I went on with a friend yesterday afternoon.  Finally, the sound and smell of rain on a dark Saturday morning and how much I am enjoying both.
