June 30, 2011 – Snippets

Perhaps the stars are aligning….perhaps it was sheer luck (or should I say shear luck)… perhaps I shouldn’t care what it was (and I don’t) and just be thankful.  

Today-  at the last minute I found a babysitter.

Today- at the last minute I found two hours.

Today- at the last minute I found an appointment with a hairdresser.

::::::::::::::::::

That’s it.   A wonderful two hours not tending to anyone or anything.   Knowing the kids were safe and fine and finding a quick moment to add myself to my list of things to do.

Did.  And Done.

Little moments…  like these…. interspersed into the busyness of my days….

Reminding me that all of the busyness is really nothing but good.

I love surprises.

I love the smile and the excitement and the way it feels to make someone else just. that. happy.

Look at that face.

Surprise!

June 23, 2011 – Joy

While at a swim meet waiting to swim, children were sitting in groups, snacking and visiting among each other.   Others warmed up in the corner of the pool area.  And yet others fanned themselves off, trying to fend away the bugs and the oppressive heat.

All the while, this sweet child of mine decided to seize the moment and run through the fields, twirling happily around and around in circles with her arms spread wide, ….stopping only to pick the flowers.

 

I love her joy.  It is true and innocent and pure and  I love being included in the same space as it… for it reminds me to also be better.
