This morning,
I sat by the window at my favorite café.
The rain had finally stopped.
The sky was clear,
and a cool breezedrifted in.
While organizing ideasfor future posts,
I came acrossan old note.
I smiled.
Five months ago,
I had written:
Live without a single mistake.

This morning,
I walked to my carto drive to my favorite café.
As I reachedthe parking lot,
I smiled.
I had parked in almost the exact same spotas the day before.
Only thendid I realizehow oftenI parked there.
ThenI rememberedyesterday.
My daughter and Ihad looked toward...
Last night,a cool summer rain fellwhile we slept.
The next morning,the air felt cooland refreshing.
My daughter and Iwere walking to the caron our way to a café.
Suddenly,
my daughter said,
"Our car isn't here."
"That's strange,"
I said.
I was sure
it was here.
I walked
behind the...
"There he is."
My husband was standingunder a tree,looking at his phone.
My daughter and I were walkingthrough our apartment parking lot.
"We're heading out,"I said.
"Have fun,"he replied.
As we got into the car,
my daughter smiled.
"Dad seems more comfortablearound you these days."

The night before,
my husband told mehe was meeting friends for dinner.
We had plannedto play a round at a par-3 coursethe next morning.

I asked my husbanda few days in advance.
Every summer,

One morning,my daughter and I were sitting by the windowat our favorite café,each holding an Americano.
"I don't thinkthe restaurant has opened yet,"I said.
The night before,
my daughter had asked
if we should make a reservation.
I was too sleepy to look into...
My husband was eating yogurt at the table.
I was slicing an apple for him.

I had just pulled outof my parking space
when another carcame toward me.
We both backed up,
almost at the same time.
I pulled backinto my parking space.
The car went by.
Then I...
