An evening in gratitude

Saturday evening. It's windy outside and they say that the first automnal gale (?) is on it's way. I can hear a car burglar alarm somewhere, it's probably a falling tree limb that has trigged it.

We had dinner some hours ago and I still feel a little bit dizzy after two glasses of wine. It's been one of those nights that I will appreciate and remember with warmth. Our two sons (19 and 21) did not rush off from the table as usual. They stayed and we had an long engaging discussion. A moment in mindfulness. I'm amazed that they are so bright!

The lights will soon go out. I'm tired, and happy.
