Firefly I saw you\u00a0 last night in my brother\u2019s clutch.<\/p>\n
You lit up the evening without a bottle to illuminate your perfect shade of green glow.<\/p>\n
Earlier in the day I no longer wore a mask when I walked. I was much more strict in Seattle, yet here in Michigan I only wear it when I go to stores or in hospitals when I am blessed to have a N95.<\/p>\n
This summer I crave porridge as I long for the sweet taste in my mouth of coconut milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and cornmeal. My favorite comfort food morning, noon, and night.<\/p>\n
Reminiscing back to working this year I think fondly of how Zoom helped me to connect my students in 2020 and join over 150 teachers in several weekly meetings.<\/p>\n
This summer I did not allow lethargy to be a byproduct of heat or defeat.<\/p>\n
Most impressively, I realized that treelines this year are more beautiful than before because we have two bird families as guests near my brother\u2019s home. I\u2019ve taken a picture in my car trying to capture your background to share this year.<\/p>\n
Last but not least, I was reminded that the Heat is not a team that I like as much as the Bad Boys of the past. This is why I will always be a Piston\u2019s fan in the era of the Palace which is no more. I saw you being built just as I saw you being taken away this summer as I drove by you each of these four weeks.<\/p>\n
Strange is the new normal.<\/p>\n
Cottage is how I like my cheese\u2026 just like Provolone, Swiss, or Havarti. One of which I had on the pizza my mother made today.<\/p>\n
