melt

There are days when a vacation doesn't feel like a vacation.  Being a mom takes all of me. Yet just when I start thinking I am not fit for this job,a sight like this greets me in the morning  and the world is right again.

Gratitude

Lazy Sunday but you are like the Energizer bunny. You can't keep still. I can't let my guard down. It feels like at any time at all, you'll hit your head or scrape your knee.

So this is how it feels- the hypervigilant state of a toddler's parents.

It is a demanding job- physically, emotionally, mentally. 

Yet one look at you, the picture of tranquility, as you slumber, secure in the steadfast belief that I will always be beside you, renders the stress irrelevant.

I am grateful everyday for the miracle that you are. Nothing has changed, everything has changed. You are the center of my Universe.

You are the gift of the cosmos, of the Almighty being.

I am nothing but grateful.
