Finding love in all the little moments.
Even as an un-partnered women, there is so much love that I get to experience every day. Today it hit me how little moments with friends and strangers can mean so much.
Driving through the insanely crowded parking lot at Trader Joe's, navigating through pedestrians and cars backing out at the same time, then making eye contact with the driver passing me, simultaneously pulling comically crazy faces of exasperation at each other, then laughing and driving away.
A shopper sheepishly asking for help at the grocery store, then becoming giddily happy simply because I could reach items on the top shelf for her.
A dad that offers to make me breakfast, then does all all the dirty dishes because he know's it's the last thing I want to do.
A mom that's sick in bed, but snuggles my sick Oliver for hours and watches cartoons with him.
A sister hundreds of miles away that sends me ridiculous Arrested Development memes because she knows it will make me laugh.
A son that runs into the room to tell me he's hungry then laughs and says "I'm kidding, Mom. I just wanted to say I love you"
Rachel, who doesn't absolutely hate my guts when I forget to tell her I can't be at her child's birthday party, and then DRIVES TO MY HOUSE afterward to bring Oliver his goody bag.
Shirlee, who lets me text her silly things, like a photo of my latest musician crush, then immediately searches concert dates and texts back to let me know when his band will be in NC.
Melissa, for putting up with a sleep-deprived child for hours yesterday. Downtown with masses of tourists. AND buying me brussel sprouts and fries at Wicked Weed!
Jess, for being my single-mom comrade and fully understanding when I need to skip church, cry about the past, or laugh over cheesy tv shows together.
I am so grateful that I get to have these people and experiences in my life every day, and it is amazing and beautiful.
And now I get to go work for bit. From my couch. Because companies that make freaking robots pay me to make art for them, and that's damn amazing too.
Happy Valentine’s Day, friends.
