Lingering heart

Today my heart is lingering. I would guess that's it's because I spent the morning alone with my mom. We had brunch and found our way through a few shops in downtown Anoka. Moments of peace tend to help me look at life through fresh eyes rather than through the dull smudges of my old glasses.

My heart is stirred by *smooth baby legs * boyish hairy legs * berry stained faces * the curly sweaty locks on two of my babies * the sweat born of a good man laboring for his family * feet and knees stained brown by hours spent in summer fun *

And really many things that don't have names they are just the feelings and experiences of life warming my heart.
