The day started with some quiet morning exercise and getting ahead on work.
Catching the kiddos reading side-by-side on the couch.
We spent a good hour or two outside on the swing - reading, playing animals, and making the swing into a huge tent.
After lunch we headed into town to spend time with a friend.
Discovering the power of a hug, pure love, holding a hand, and whispering the words, "I love you."
Being told that bringing your children for a visit was "Simply marvelous" and that the visit was truly "lovely" and basking in that person's gratitude as a result.
Being fully, totally, breathtakingly aware of the power of friendship and the simple gift of a stone with a few powerful words written on it.
Holding on to precious moments enough to make them blessed and sacred memories... then having to let go.
A spontaneous outdoor picnic with bouncing and giggling kids.
Witnessing the compassion and depths that each of my young children contain. Still amazes me.
Feeling gratitude for the simple gifts of books to my child.
Tenderly carrying two sleeping luvs into the house.
Coming home to a hug and kiss from the hubby.
Holding my family close... and remembering.
