i am lucky and i know it. waking up at four am to drive my husband to the train, i am grateful for a few minutes with him in the morning, even though sometimes spent in silent..okay rarely since i seem to have a sense of humor in the morning. I like being in the city when all is quiet, but welcome a morning song on the radio, sometimes i choose or just let the radio choose for me. as i drive back i think of things like the impromptu dinner i made for k. sam and david last night and how i love to cook. I think about how we played with our dogs and how i pretended to break dance for k. how we chased each other up the stairs and back down again, and how my mission is to scare him as i hide over there. as i pull into my driveway i like looking at the house and the how it is gently lit. grace welcomes me as if i have been gone for hours and sophie lies on the bed upstairs waiting. I give the kitchen a quick clean and walk up the stairs and try to lay in the bed before grace joins sophie and leaves me no space. the phone rings and k. checks i made home safe he says thank you and i love you. now tucked in just right each dog lays their head on my belly and as i go in and out of thought the one that is clear to me is how lucky i feel to be loved.

wonderful, thoughtful post nadia. there is something so special about the early morning when it seems no one else is around...
This makes me happy, and happy for you. You deserve an abundance of luck, love and happiness.
gorgeous color.
recently i whispered those words.
this post brings a smile.
every day starting today, thanks to your beautiful reminder.
Yesterday actually, one of my very closest friends is having a particularly hard time and as I tried to comfort her a little I realised how lucky I am. I don't think she has had the time to laugh or take a minute for herself in months.
My husband and I are so lucky to be such close friends. We are going to spend a day spoiling her. Try and ease some of her problems even if its just for a few hours.
I also feel lucky to have found you and your wonderful thought provoking blog. Happy mid week to you Nadia.
yes, you are. and so am i. we are lucky for our families, our husbands, our roof over our heads, that we get to express our creativity in many ways, our health... oh so lucky nadia! thank you for reminding me.
