sweet morning


Today we got ready and Olivia put on her socks and shoes without a whisper and we went to school.

Last night my husband showed me that he was exactly the incredible, deep man that I fell in love with, and made my heart sing.

And this morning as I walked back to the car I held Bodhi's soft, warm little hand in mine, as he sang a little wordless song, and the moment was so indescribably sweet, even in the realisation of how fleeting it all is, his smallness, his little-boy-ness. Or because of it, I suppose.

Sometimes it's not possible to grab those moments, and feel them fully. Too much intrudes that you just can't defeat. So, it's just a pleasure to catch one.

we all need much more moments like that..or do we need the ability to recognise these moments as wonderful as they are??..dunno..you surely had such a moment and were able to enjoy it:-)

It is those moments. They are the rubies we string which make up the glory of a life.
