Ran in the afternoon. The sky was filled with huge white thunderheads in the distance and cotton from the cottonwoods floated through the golden air of late day. There were a lot of fisherman standing quietly in the river casting their lines. I ran to see the lake, and turned around as the sky started to go grey. I ran back thinking of my son at camp, wondering if he'll remember where he packed his rain slicker and if he misses his Mama.

Sounds like you miss him too!!!

Love your running with your daughter yesterday. It's easy to see why your kids are so wonderful...they have an awesome mama!

You guys are so sweet. My father always told me, the biggest mistake a woman can make is 'over-mothering' her son (or getting in the way of the father trying to make him a man). I'm pretty sure I'm guilty of both. I wish it was a simple matter of loving them, I do that pretty well. It's getting out of their way and helping them push their limits I'm not so good at.

I think sometimes our thoughts smother them more than our actions do. I'm sure because your father said that to you, that you are VERY conscious of it and that he will grow up to be an amazing man - with or with out his slicker at camp :)

Nice run mama! Funny how our thoughts, even on such a beautiful day always come back to those we love and if we're loving them the right way!
