Song: Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland
Tonight was one of those nights where the house is clean. The yard is mowed, edged and partially watered. The bills are paid. Everyone is doing what they do before bed. Me-in my room writing. Carol- in her room probably playing solitaire. Tyrese and his friend- playing games. The dog isn’t licking me. Lamps glow throughout the house. My clean sheets are in the dryer. Peace. There’s nothing like it. It’s in these moments that despite the other chaos or upsets from the day, things appear in order and a peace engulfs. These moments seem so rare or perhaps I’m too busy and pass them up. I’m determined to have more.
Movie: Money Pit
Tom Hanks and Shelley Long play an engaged couple who purchase their dream home- a fixer upper. When construction begins in the house everything falls apart, including their relationship. They learn that making a home beautiful takes time and a lot of work, much like their relationship.
