Daybreak

I have been surprised at how quickly I have adapted to sleeping without knowing my girl's whereabouts. Last night my boy was at a sleepover, however I later received information about a party. We also had a quick ring and off phone call from one of my girl's friends who I knew was with her last night.

I had explanations for both and went to bed unconcerned. I thought I had settled my self with trust in my boy too. My mind however decided it would play tricks in the night. And so this morning, after much tossing and turning, I rose like a lark and drove out to Queensferry in search of some low mist and light breaking. Instead I got clouds, but the lights on the bridge gave such dramatic reflections.

As an anxious teenager this was my thinking spot, my calming place. It worked this morning too, I know my children, they will keep safe and I trust them to enjoy life with a degree of sensibility.

On the plus side, it's exciting that there is a whole day ahead of me and it hasn't rained in 24 hours. I think I might re-plant the 300 bulbs I dug up recently!
