Today I have a holiday, I have been super excited about this holiday and my plan was to send you to daycare, baba will be away at work and I will have a “Me” day all by myself. I had plans to go to the yoga class in the morning, have lunch out and go for a movie. This is typical me, planning and packing my one free day.
The day went exactly like planned till 8am, then I just went under the sheets and read a mystery novel for more than an hour. I came downstairs to a bright beautiful fall day, poured a cup of pom juice in a wine glass and sat in the living room overlooking the lake.
I just sat there for few minutes, just soaking in the quietness of the house, the beauty of nature outside. This is life, the freedom of doing whatever I want,the quiet house, the feeling of a baby move inside me and your owl “C” on the table staring at me.
In the hustle of everyday life, I forget to stop and smell the roses in my life. Today in these few minutes, I look around the beautiful life I have built. I have the warmth and the glow in my heart that only comes from knowing that you are loved, I can love the quietness the house after the chaos of a happy family in the morning. I appreciate the time off I have from a well paying and challenging job. Today at this moment, I feel I have it all.
I hope you feel the same when you grow up and stop to gaze at the life you have built.
