I was just digging through my writing folder on my laptop and came across the word document titled above that I apparently created on Wednesday, June 3, 2009. Being that it is winter, and dark, and cold, I thought I would share it!

The peaceful quiet of a summer evening

Little bugs fluttering in the evening sunlight

Sound of insects

Swaying in the hammock

Knowing you don’t have to go to bed

Watching your mother or father flick on the light inside the living room

Smacking at a mosquito on your leg

Sprinklers

Smell of grass

Sound of a lawnmower

Smell of barbeque

Remembering this, in the middle of my working adult life

Having forgotten what that moment of peace is like

Forgetting that feeling of stillness

Always having a to do list

Always having to watch the clock for bedtime
