Gratitude

In the spirit of November, the month we give thanks, I'd like to take the opportunity (and by opportunity, I mean challenge) to write about what I'm grateful for everyday. These won't be long and wordy, but more spontaneous and fun.

To start this month off, I am sitting at Biggby waiting for Blake's practice to be done. I was originally excited when Toby asked me to take him because I knew I'd end up here... writing.

Then Evan wanted to come with me.

So I made him bring his homework and sat him at a separate table, because he's full of distractions lately. I bought us both coffees, mine decaf, his not so much. And honest to God, I've never seen him so focused. He's gone through two pages of paper himself writing furiously. At one point he looked up and said, "Why haven't we done this before?"

I don't have the heart to tell him I come here once a week.

But it's nice to know that we can at least do something together where I don't want to kill him.

So today, I am grateful for Biggby. For bringing my son and I together for one happy caffeine-induced hour.

B Grateful.
