Some Moments Truly Are Sublime
Now that the holiday is here, I just want to snuggle down with Ian and Lucas and forget about everything else for a while.
Lucas didn’t nap today. When I have a lot of work on my plate, this really stresses me out. The silver lining of no-nap days is that he sometimes falls asleep in my arms while I sing to him before bed. When the wiggling and the arguing and the attitude cease–when he drifts off while we rock–a great rush of love flows through me. I feel the stillness of the day. I feel a stillness in my heart. I soak in this feeling. It heals me. I greedily rock him extra long before laying him gently in his bed for the night.
I'm a busy freelance editor and writer, wife to Ian, and mother to two precious boys. I am living each day to the fullest and with as much grace, creativity, and patience as I can muster.
"Love doesn't just sit there like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new." —Ursula K. LeGuinn
