Memorized, categorized, internalized

4 October 2010

Both boys today sat eating locally made Gravenstein applesauce.
Grinning at each other.
Next to a window streaming buttery October sunshine.

I breathed deeply.

The end.

    Honey, that is so lovely. Now go read more of that Franzen novel and consider doing a swan dive off the Golden Gate bridge. OK…don’t do that. Enjoy the Chee! I love you, love you, love you. Step away from the Franzen.

    May I offer you a lovely cup of hot cider and a furry blanket?

    letmestart: my sentiment exactly
    Kitch: finished it middle of last week. Been meaning to post. Will do so. But this was too good.

    jc that sounds delightful. But it’s been in the 80s here, so that would be painful. You bundle up and drink in my cozy moment. Guessing applesauce moments never happen in the lab.

    Now that’s why you got into this mommy business.

    Nice. Cooler weather is coming in, and will make it even nicer when this happens next time. :)

    I love October — even when it’s warm. There’s just something comfy about it that puts me in a good mood. (Of course, when I’m away from school, I feel that way. When I’m in class, I keep thinking – what is it about October that makes students such dippy jerk-offs?)

    I can see those smiles. I can feel the buttery October sun.

    And the relief in knowing that these moments crystallize in our memories, don’t they?

    They help us remember who we are, and why we do this, day in and day out.

    Breathe deeply indeed, friend!

    Yay! Yum! Sounds lovely, glad you’re breathing deeply.

    A post with less than thirty words, and you’ve managed to say it all. Nice.

    That is wonderful. Do you mind if I internalize that moment as well?

    Blogged and made permanent.
