Tonight was one of those nights where the stars aligned. The house is clean, the checkbook balanced, the wine is poured, Radiohead is piping through the walls and both kiddies are sleeping soundly. I’m making a concerted effort to be more present with the girls and with life in general. It seems the hours turn into days and the days turn into weeks and…well, you know the story. Mia asked me before she went to bed if I liked my bones. Hmmm. Never really thought about that one but now that I think about it, I love my bones. They’ve done a great job so far. No breaks or fractures and they get me where I’m going every day.
Thanks, Mia. For showing me how I’ve been taking my bones for granted. Did I tell you how much I also love pinot noir? Next time. Here is to staying fully present.

mia is definitely her father's daughter! when dennis was a little kid he would ask "do you know why we have bones?" and then he'd tell you it was "to keep your skin up"! b.
Laurie and Dennis, I heart your children.
Ahhh... the magic of children. Who else would think to ask such a question!? And of course, if we take a moment to stop and think about it, we realize we do like our bones! Tell Mia I also like my uvula, my septum, and my earlobes. And most of my hair follicles.
