This summer is racing by. I feel like we are filling so many moments with goodness, but lately, it seems like maybe I’m also filling just too many moments. It’s starting to feel a little heavy, I guess. Too Consumed. No time to clean the house, go to the grocery, even make it to my yoga. The temperatures outside continue to rise as I feel everything else also rising, bursting at the seams, hoping for some type of relief to come.
It was in the middle of all of this when I found a moment. Swim team was over. The kids had been fed. I still had a couple of hours before work. I jumped in the pool and held my youngest while we swam and laughed, nose to nose in the water. Next, my older child, a mermaid herself, came hopping through the water at us. She climbed into my other arm. My entire vision was filled with their beautiful and genuine smiles. We laughed and danced together in the water, both of their wet little bodies engulfed in my arms.
And it was a moment. A moment that certainly didn’t fix the rising stress or take me to yoga or clean the house or lighten the work schedule…. but a moment that let us breathe and smile and enjoy and be grateful – for just how good life truly is.
A perfect moment.
