I just spent three days finding peace and presence. One afternoon while I was gone I called my husband to check in. He and Georgia were leaving Long Beach, where they had spent four hours touring the Aquarium and taken a long harbor cruise, a memorable first for both of them. Here’s Georgia’s on-the-spot report:
She: Mom, guess what?! I just found a dollar bill on the steps in front of me. And then I crossed the street and found a quarter!
Wherever you go, I hope you find $1.25 today, and keep the change. I hope I do too. Because it’s not ever where you’ve been. It’s where you are.
Did she treat Dad to a cup of coffee?

No, Kristin, she didn’t treat Dad to coffee. I’m only just now tallying up the haul she brought home with her out of his wallet: new bracelet, new stuffed penguin. That turnstile only turns one way, it seems.
