a double #augustbreak: miracles and dirt
Monday, August 6, 2012 
Sunday it rained. It was practically a miracle, after the stifling heat of the summer. And it was one of those bright (if brief) rains, and for just a few minutes everything was better.
Then I got some news about a death in the family back home, and I couldn’t post this picture because nothing was really better after all and I did not care about Things and everything felt dumb and I said it’s a Break, August Break, and no1curr if I do not post a photo today. And we watched NASA do its thing in the middle of the night and I teared up, I did, about everything.
And then there was today and two sets of gardening gloves and a good full-body soreness (just wait until tomorrow…) and I was just glad to be alive and able to take in the world. To see photos from Mars and Myron at the other side of the table are both miracles in their own way.

I'm so sorry, Kim. I'm late commenting as we had to deal with a death as well. It's been a rough time of it lately in that department. My love goes to you and Myron. Thinking of you and sending you hugs and love.
Life is so harsh at times. This is hard and beautiful. Hugs, girl. You'll be moving again, heartwise, one moment at a time.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Kim. Last thing you need in the middle of a massive change is grief. And yet, you manage to bring so much positivity to this post... Thinking of you, and of two pairs of gloves, and of walks with Myron, and all the beauty that lies ahead.
I promise I will get better about noting these. If I can note the stupid stuff (from others) on That Other Site then I can be better about these. So here I am, back reading and noting because I WANT TO SHOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU DAMNIT. So consider this is another miracle, me, noting.
