It’s a quiet morning around here. These are my absolute favorite.
I slept in a bit, and Jon got the kids off to school. He is so amazing. I’ve just been so “blergh” and not feeling 100%. He is the best father and husband EVER! He takes care of all of us so well.
And now…….well, the kids are off for the day and Jon is working and I’m sitting in my living room watching Siah play on the floor close by.
The sun is shining in the windows and I’m about the get a cup of coffee to slowly sip. I might even make some muffins. Or not….I might just sit here and enjoy the sunshine.
I love quiet mornings.
I remember when the older 3 kids were all under 5 and I didn’t think I’d ever have any quiet moments again. It’s amazing to look back at that time and think that it flew by so fast. Even though I felt so stressed out and worn out at the time, it went by so SO fast.
It really made me realize that I can stop and breath and relax in whatever moment I find myself in and realize that “this too shall pass” and that soon it will be just a distant memory and that I need to try to enjoy the moment I’m in instead of looking forward past this moment “hoping” for something better or wishing that I weren’t “missing out” on something. I missed so many things from back when my older 3 were little because I was so focused on getting past that stage. I didn’t stop to realize that I only had that time with them “right then”.
I’m not saying that motherhood or whatever else you’re going through isn’t sometimes (or often times) tough, but that this moment in time is a once in a life time thing.
I’ll never get this moment back once it passes me by. Sure, I’ll get new moments, and new memories; but this one…….this moment is special for all it’s own reasons.
I want to try to enjoy all my “moments”.
(and Jon just brought me a coffee – what a darling. My quiet morning just got a bit sweeter.)
Beautiful photo. You are gifted.
I am taking photography course at the senior centre at end of February for 6 weeks.
