Darkness has fallen once again. The day has held the typical elements of a wife and mother: errands, groceries, entertaining, empathizing. I am left with a feeling of positive contentment while unwinding from a mundane day. I wish I had some semblance of excitement and adventure to share, but the quiet, calm pool of love and family has been more than enough to culminate my day.
After tucking in the children tight and retiring to the living room to simply snuggle with my husband, I am floating on relaxing clouds of satisfaction. Not every day is like this. That is why it is so very important to pause for a moment, on the soft sound of my loving husband's gentle snores, to remember... just remember... why I am actually here and to what ends I would go to in order to preserve this epiphany.
Yes, the money runs short... the homework never ends... the dinner sometimes burns... the alarm rings too early... But now, right now, all is right in the world... just knowing my babies sleep soundly upon the dreams of youth and my husband relaxes in my arms after a long week of family dedication... Such a beautiful life...
