Blessings, continued...

Less than a year apart, still my girls curl together on the couch like twins in a shared womb. They breathe in and out what seems the same breath; small chests gently rising then lowering, and both sets of lips pursed open, the sign of deep slumber.

            26. girls curled on a couch

            27. breath, the same breath of another

            28. small chests rising, lowering, in sync

            29. small lips pursed open as waiting for a kiss

            30. rest, slumber, the sleep of a babe

And more:

31. sweet retrieval! Wax from the ear

32. spaghetti strap loose, cascades down small shoulder of baby in sundress

33. chopsticks

34. grammar

35. rain, tomorrow, promised to come

36. new faucet in the kitchen-now the Brita fits beneath

37. a thank you note that makes me chuckle

38. what if counting, counting is the way to remember?
