As good as it gets

So, I longed and missed my daily or sometimes weekly "vitamin" while we were away in Underberg and Durban! But its been 2 days since we have been back and at last I get to go for a walk on Kommetjie beach with my Bruno!! Yup I left Mia at home, I think she is still sulking (such a girl) The best part - alone with my thoughts. As usual the sunset was incredible and the surfers were out catching small "swells"- but hey, they just are addicted, pretty much like me.

Row was left to sort out the girls at home. They decided no early to bed for them, they want a"picnic"in the lounge! So I returned home to Talors mattress on the lounge floor, a bowl of popcorn, made by chef Dad Row being devoured as they sang and watched High School Musical again for the second time today!! (I really need to get to the video store)

maggie and milly and molly and may

maggie and milly and molly and may
went down to the beach to play one day

and maggie discovered a shell that sang
so sweetly she couln't remember her troubles, and

milly befriended a stranded star
whose rays fire languid were;

and molly was chased by a horrible thing
which raced sideways while blowing bubbles and

may came home with a smooth round stone
as small as a world and as large as alone.

For whatever we lose(like a you or a me)
it's always ourselves we find in the sea

e.e.cummings

I walked in the door to my world right now and realised ...this is - as good as it gets - for now, and that makes me smile!
