Happy in our places of just knowing the other is near

A lazy day. A good day. My teenager and I are hanging around the house, listening to nature outside our opened windows, searching the web (he on his itouch, me on my computer) and just sort of hangin.' We talk when we find something of interest to share. Like a favorite farside cartoon from my son's book. Or when we think about going outside somewhere and then realize we feel like we would fry. Our energy level is low today. Yet our love level is high. We are happy in our places of just knowing the other is near. We don't always enjoy parent/teenager moments. But today, we are lucky. And blessed.
