Grey skies and rain drenched days have kept us huddled indoors, dreary of damp afternoons.  Today, the sun blossomed through the clouds and warmth spread as quickly as smiles.  My daughter dressed with frantic intent and we set off for a park.

Racing ahead of me, ponytail swinging to the rhythm of her footsteps, she lovingly traced the lines of the play structure; reacquainting herself with an old friend.  She slipped casually down each slide and climbed each ladder retracing footsteps from summers past.  Then she settled in a quiet corner, paper and pen in hand.

I watched bewitched by the peaceful tilt of her head as she folded herself over her work in concentration.  Each of us absorbing the sunshine.
