"One Beautiful Morning"

                    Since I last wrote, two and a half months, two major holidays, two baby teeth, and a major home renovation project have occurred. It seems like we have been doing much of our living in our kitchen and on the road.  It is time to hunker down and step back into our home and our lives. The big reveal is everyday, not just at the end.

           Awake alone and early on this gorgeous Martin Luther King Day morning, I am immersed in peace. I am soaking up the colors of this sunrise and feeling my fingers tap the keys. I am meditating in motion. My breath is entering and leaving. I am thankful to our Creator. I am thankful as I hear little steps walking around above me.
      Soon the quiet will break. I will hold our baby girl because she wants to be held. I will hold her because she is not held enough with a baby brother in the house.
     Shortly, the baby will nurse. As he looks up at me, the beauty of the day will be revealed a second time. His eyes full of light and contentment.
     Last, my oldest will come downstairs. She has caught up on some sleep from the weekend.  At almost eight, her girlhood adventures land her new experiences to try out, both at home and in the homes of family and friends. Horses, fairies, and dolphins follow her into the day.
      My husband and I renovate and rebuild our home. Yes we build our home, one incredible day at a time.
