#NewThisDay Writing From My Photo Stream

Charles River Morning

I saw the river on a walk with my son this morning. A birthday walk for me. My focus was mostly on him, but this picture had to be taken. After, for the third day in a row, I swam. I am back to my daily swims, and even though there is a crush of activity in the house, I make time for this. Today, we worked hard to clear out the kitchen that will be renovated this next couple of weeks, and move clutter out, and around, and do laundry, and help my daughter pack, and I am tired. Not yet done. Much was disposed of in the kitchen; stuff that has accumulated over twenty years in this house. I feel as if we still have much to do before the weekend is complete, and tomorrow I must go to the Boston Book Festival to present a workshop that I planned to do months ago. And I want to do it. But the timing. . . well. I will enjoy being in town for most of the day. I will enjoy getting a good night’s sleep as well.
