Honey Bird loves to swim. We taught her. Well, we did not teach her how to swim, but we had to teach her how to not be afraid. Last summer she would not get in. We coaxed her in, we pulled her in, we forced her a bit and then she got the hang of it. Now she loves it. She leaps into the pool. She is a really good swimmer.

We will be leaving for camp soon. Pretty soon I won't be able to sleep past 6 am, no matter what. Today I went through the boys' clothes. Lavi has grown out of everything.

I am purposefully avoiding talking about current events. I hope you don't think I am shallow. I want to talk about the deplorable and depressing current state of affairs, but that is all we are talking about and sometimes I need a reprieve. Do you feel that way as well? Things feel horrible in a way I've never felt before. Ever. Period.

I am sending love and light to you, to everyone. Feel the love and pass it on. Deep breath.
