I dont know why I wait for something BIG to happen in order to blog about it. Cause not much big and exciting is happening around here. Most days are usually the same old grind. Wake up late, rush the kids out the door (hopefully brushing hair, teeth and eating breakfast.....but not always), come home, clean house, do bills, watch Fox news while I fold laundry, go to work, pick up kids from school, fight for an hour about homework, soccer practice, dinner, baths, bed. And of course all the little things that go in between.
But today was different. Today I was reminded about the little things and just how important they are. I don't know why it hit so hard today, but it did. I was sitting at the beach bundled up in the towles cause I was freezing. As I sat back and watched my kids I was so overwhelmingly grateful for them. I was just in awe as I watched them truly ENJOYING one another. So very much. There was so much love. Just me and the kids and a setting sun. Nobody else was there. It was peaceful. It was magical. It was a moment of joy, pride, gratitude and so much love. I am so grateful for kids who really love eachother, who protect eachother, and who completely enjoy eachother. Who can build sandcastles together and make sand angels, can splash in the waves and dig tunnels while laughing their little hearts out. That is absolutely what it is all about.
