Right now, I’m sitting on the deck, under the shade of my umbrella, on a hot and humid day, editing a book.

Right now, I’m singing along to Jackson Browne’s, “Somebody’s Baby.”

Right now, I can see my husband sitting on the deck, just a few feet from me. As the song lyrics swirl, I know we are each other’s baby, just like the lyrics suggest.

Right now, I’m thinking about our life – the time we’ve spent together and the time we have left to enjoy each other.

Right now, I’m well aware of friends who have lost their spouses. It seems so unfair.

Right now, I cannot conceive of one of us not being here – but the truth is, it will be our truth at some point.

Right now, I am thankful. Let’s not complicate it – I’m just thankful!
