We're home today - safe and warm - while a blizzard does its thing outside. J's ability to entertain himself, so present and carefree with his "monster truck dirt", vehicles, 90 minute bath. The background noise of his childhood "here it comes!, guys watch out, he's the good guy...." warms my heart in a way that nothing else can.
A gratitude practice for today:
1) my boy - healthy, present, good.
2) our home - warm, safe, quiet, enough.
“As we get older, we define happiness less in terms of excitement and more in terms of peacefulness. Reverend Veronica Goines sums this up as, “Peace is joy at rest, and joy is peace on its feet.” - Sheryl Sandberg
