March 2026 Slice of Life, No. 6
From a free writing in my summer journal
Tonight I’ve taken pleasure in simple things.
- Eating an enormous piece of pizza
- Chatting with my son as he grilled 24 cheeseburgers for his kids, cousins, and friends
- Hearing the shouts and laughter of my grandkids as they played away the final hours of daylight
- Enjoying a cool evening breeze coming in our back screen door
- Sipping a tall glass of ice water with a lime slice
- Listening to the familiar soft humming of a floor fan
- Marking time with the steady tick of our old kitchen clock
And then my husband, walking into the kitchen, said: “I love you.”

Serenity
Life is good
My heart is full
My mind at peace
My body’s well
Tonight
Sleep will be sweet
Thank you, Lord!
