Today

Adult interaction abounded.
Past achievements rewarded.
Conversations engrossed.
Blessings, I believe.

My Erin played with Brandie's Luke.
Brandie laughed at her three-year-old queries.
"Why does the alligator get slimy in water?"
I heard second hand.

Eli smiled at Brandie and waved bye-bye.
What did he think about his day?
His not-quite-two vocabulary can't say.
I wonder if anyone noticed.

I picked Caleb up.
An elephant replaced his outfit's dinosaur.
Spit up?
I didn't clean it.

I gleaned writing tips and publishing tricks.
My resume scored a job interview.
Conversations with my husband rose above body fluids and children's crises.
Fulfillment, I wonder.
