Tell me you don't need a suit like this one—all quilted up and caped. Don't need this mask, the set of this jaw, these fleet and fine rubber-toed shoes.
I know that I do. I seek strength beyond myself, strength being a word that I, just now, associate with calm.
The good things of this day: I survived the 5:45 AM Body Pump. I saw my friends at Shire. Someone told me a story. I talked to my dear niece, Miranda, on her very special birthday. And a nice guy at the front desk of a seaside hotel told me the answer to a question I had about Cape May just ahead of the 1878 fire.
The weather was perfect, but there was no time to play.
The blue fish lemoned up just right.
It's dark now. Another chance at sleep.

Boy, does that picture bring back memories. Our son loved to dress up and pretend so much when he was small.
Can I have a Spidey suit? Pwease?
<3!
I wish I had superpowers as well, Beth! I hope you rest well.
Superpowers would be great, but I will settle for a cape full of panache.
My youngest is a Wonder Woman fan. She's got the costume, the coloring books, the lunchbox...and I think how wonderful it would be to soak up some of Wonder Woman's superpowers.
You do so much, Beth. No need to put more pressure on yourself. Take care of yourself and garner strength.
I've always been a Superman fan, but that picture is too cute to resist! :)
I think my super power would be add a few more hours to the day!
I've always wanted wings to fly...
