introspection

It is an introspective day. mission, initiative, motivation, direction.
snow and ice falling.
school called off.
housebound and loving the quiet moments.
My sparkly ladybug will be 18 at the end of the week. We have grown together and woven over the years and as she readies herself to fly... I am grounded and will watch her soar to her next experiences. I am exceedingly proud of her senior project, Art Empowerment blog, of her volunteering in the schools. Giving her time to lots of youngsters, and of her willingness to keep working and skating through the trials and tribulations of her senior year, sicknesses, and fatigue.
I am also especially proud of my loving effervescent rainbow girl for working so hard at maintaining her high level of dedication to her studies, constant motion, skating, and sledding yesterday with excessive 12 year old gusto and abandon. laughing in glee as she flew over the slick and frozen earth.... racing her favorite friend, aquatic racer, in fun and happiness.
I am feeling the effects of flying through the air and slamming and taking air as we flew over the frozen golf course. Neck radiating dull annoyance, reminding me I am aging. What fun... I was wishing for skiing but that will have to wait for one day soon! All is frozen and frosted slick on Cape Cod. Spitting falling snow drops.... sounds like falling ice particles. Ahhhh... lovely February day.
