We decided to take the long route to piano lessons yesterday (the long route being anything that requires my children to use their feet instead of buckling their seatbelts).
I walked behind a mermaid and a beauty with chestnut tresses on a path of orange and gold. I watched the swing of her hair in the autumn wind and blue-green scales beneath a shower of leaves, and I realized that life isn't always about the short cuts. Sometimes the gift is in taking the long way around.
I'm linking up (albeit a little late) to Chatting at the Sky for Tuesdays Unwrapped. Hop on over and check it out.

Oh I am so glad to have read this, late or not.
How lovely and flowing and beautiful, the girls , the hair, the leaves, the words, our life.
When they're this young, seize the moments. They're all so special and so fleeting.
