Today was a full day with a morning game of grass volleyball with friends, a long chat with my best San Francisco friend, another trip to the ortho, playdates with friends, baking, and a haircut with my old hairdresser. Lots of stories, smiles and hugs were shared.
We ended our first week of school on a family date with friends in downtown Mountain View. It was great to be out in a fun, vibrant town and trying out a new restaurant. I love discovering new places and always have a sense of wanderlust, especially after living overseas for a year. The highlight was bumping into Jess and Soosh and their kids on the street. This is the part I love about being home. I have a sense of place and a sense that I belong here. Running into people I know wherever I go feels great. I love the smiles we share and the stories we tell.
I also loved singing along with this woman playing her guitar outside the bookstore.
She wasn’t collecting tips, as she was just sharing her joy and talents. I loved this magical moment. Magic surrounds us if we are aware and looking. What magic did you discover today?
We loved running into your family too. That was a perfect cap to a fun evening downtown. Love you guys and can’t wait to see you again for another fun reunion. Enjoy your weekend. We’ll think of you as we paddle down the river. 😉
Hope the weather was great and your canoe stayed up straight! Can’t wait to hear about it!!
