My Mongolian Gnome


It is a beautiful New England fall day and Beatrice and I had quite a busy one. Sometimes I think I am just stringing her along through the day. I feel that way when we do errands and I do chores around the house, and other adult things that Beatrice goes along with. But she is just as content sitting in a shopping cart as she is sitting in her club house. She finds wonder in each experience she has. I admire that. I've been trying to enjoy each moment as well but my mind tends to wander into my To-Do List mode. I try to look at Beatrice for support when that happens. She smiles at me like she is saying, "Play here and now!" The here and now is, I guess, all we really have.
