My skating Saturday took me to my old neighborhood and a visit with Marine. Our kids were close to the same age, and she told me about her girls and their families. At some point she touched my arm, and with tears in her eyes told me about the very first time we’d met, “You were holding baby Chandra in the front yard”. We talked, laughed, shared stories, and I left skating the old neighborhood following kid memories of birthday parties, Cub & Brownie meeting, but mindful of my skating. Sunday it was too wet to skate, so I walked. Mid-walk I found a rose climbing a wall, and was brushed again by Marine’s tears, through the roses’ beauty. Mix joy memories this week with present moment’s mindfully connected to your past.
