The thing about running to school early is that you get to see the sky turn that deep shade of blue which has no name. I love that star-speckled blend of earth and space that washes eternal perspective over my narrow little fretting mind.
The thing about having an all out hoot with 6 years olds singing songs about mashed potatoes and bees with sunburned knees, is you might forget you are 44 years older.
The thing about working a consistent, firm, and unbending discipline plan with Sammy for 5 weeks is that he might decide to become a perfectly behaved music student during class on the 6th week.
The thing about running the long way home from school after the sun sets is that you might meet a coyote by the woods, and wonder if he and his buddies have eaten yet today.
The thing about harvesting you supper by flashlight in the back yard is it tastes so good right out of the pan.
The thing is, I feel undeservedly favored.
