my hair has gotten long again, which means that whenever i wear a certain linen dress (that i love very much), it gets tangled in the closure at the nape of my neck. so this morning here in my studio, proofreading and wrestling (most of) my hair free from that tiny button once again, i was brought back to a moment three or so years ago in this very spot wearing this very dress with my girls beside me. oh, how they've grown.
it's fleeting, this life. accelerating at a pace i had not anticipated. but when it comes down to it, why worry about that. waste precious time feeling lousy? no, thank you. i'd much rather use my energies for laughter and caring, for hope and making things happen. my wish is that many years from now, i will look back on these days having learned even more. that i will have no regrets. that i will remember this day with fondness. and that i will be untangling my locks from the closure on this simple linen dress once again. i aspire to be a lot like linen - strong, and absorbent of whatever needs me. sure, it wrinkles and gets softer over time, but it doesn't unravel. xoxo
