Do you ever have those moments? Moments when everything just seems… awfully fine?
Today after I got the girls from school, I was sitting in the middle of a pile of laundry on the floor separating it all. We had the princess channel on the radio, and the girls were all dancing around and twirling.
For just the briefest of moments I thought, this is my life. This is the hand given to me, or rather the hand I was blessed with. This is my time. My time to be a mom to little girls. My time to play house for real. My time to organize schedules and play dates and nap time. My time to create the photographs we will look back on for a lifetime, whispering, “remember when?”
And at that moment, I was filled with such an overwhelming feeling of peace.
This is it. This is what life has prepared me for, and this is what is preparing me for all that is to come.
They won’t always be under my roof. They won’t always twirl so fast they lose their balance. They won’t always give me those deep belly laughs. And I won’t always be the one they run to.
But now…
Today…
Today is my time.
And I’m relishing every moment of it.
