A Big First

It’s a big deal, meeting your very first celebrity.

Lucy kept her cool. (She is the coolest.)

But in all seriousness, these first memories…I just had no idea how special they would feel. It’s like looking at life through all new eyes. I know that sounds trite, and I suppose I’m sort of late to the party. But here I am. I couldn’t have known, couldn’t have totally undserstood, before. I can only be in the moment I’m in.

And that’s one of life’s great discoveries, isn’t it? And one of its most beautiful and hardest lessons.

We only have right now.

And y’all, this is such an amazing now.

Happy Labor Day!

Just a quick post today to say happy Labor Day! Here in Northern Virginia, it’s sunny and breezy and just the right temperature. We’d already planned to spend the day out in the countryside with friends, but even if we hadn’t, I couldn’t think of a better thing to do with this beautiful Monday off.
