extraordinarily normal

Sean is laughing so infectiously that I can't help smiling. and the amount of joy in his eyes now could supply the neighborhood. Will likes to tickle my feet in the morning. he also says that I'm so cool. snow is expected. I fall asleep with the light on. I like to believe that it reminds my husband that he's loved and missed when he comes home late from work.

there are moments in a person's life, scarce and frail, when you realize how good and pleasant life is when you slow down and delight in the little things that occasionally sprinkle your day with beauty and inspiration. when you don't strive to live up to your own expectations. when you stroke your child's hair. and learn how to really love him. when everything is extraordinarily normal.

Wow what a wonderful post. It encompasses what I am striving for in myself. To live in the moment and enjoy it without bringing the pain of the past or the fear of the future along. Thank you for saying it so beautifully!

You are such an exquisite writer. Your posts are more like haikus--- they have that much satisfaction and yet sustain their mystery.

Well captured. I couldn't agree more

I was entertaining similar thoughts today. How I love hearing Gage laughing from his gut... how I love the drawings Aiden makes for me... the little things.

p.s. I put on makeup when I know Coffeeboy's on his way home from work. I like to believe that it reminds my husband that he's loved and missed. :)
