swooning over skimmers
contemplating colors for toenails
thinking about a perfect day

staring at a september sky from the shade of my very favorite lighthouse
reading books in bed
finding peace in the sweet lullaby of waves outside my window

flipping rocks to find nothing underneath but sun-warmed crickets and roly-poly bugs
feeling ridiculously happy
loving the way the late afternoon sun makes everything beautiful

marveling at the fall flight of osprey and eagles and peregrine falcons
contemplating colors for toenails
(over-thinking it, probably)

feeling thankful for monarch butterflies and the people who love them
wondering if forever means tomorrow, too
deciding now is what matters most

falling in love again, anyway
dreaming of enough days to make up for lost time

the sharing of it and the sand between our toes
indulging the last weekend of summer
cape may finally!
(i've been busy)
