a box just for wishes

the weekend, at last. i’m looking forward to two days off of school, almost as much as henry is looking forward to the very same thing. i’m hoping for a little bit of peace, a little bit of vacuuming, a lot of reading (ahem), a game or two of uno or animal yahtzi, something good to eat, maybe even several good things to eat, multitudinous first sips of coffee, maybe another little greene life movie, the completion of the enormous order of royal woodland animal puppets, a bike ride alongside my son wherein i am on my own bike and he is on his own bike and the wind is making our faces shine, the good things of sunday with God and man, the company of others, long evenings with sleeping children across the hall, a thunderstorm, a few hours of sun, a good cross-breeze, my hair to cooperate in its in-between growing out awkward stage, the hanging of pictures, the hanging of lights, bathed children, breathless children, gentleness abounding, and several other little things that are weaving their threads through the rest.

wishful thinking, i’m sure, but wishing is good on occasion.
