Sometimes it seems like the days go so fast. And I am always moving. Always doing one more thing. Putting away one more dish. Picking up one more toy. Reading one more email. Like most, I have this mind that is always moving on to the future even before I have really experienced the present.
Today I wanted to just listen. This is what I heard:
My dog sigh; when I sat to pet her for a few minutes, while we were home together alone this morning.
My son tell me that he wanted me to write him a note in his lunch everyday.
My youngest daughter giggle when I was teaching her what a butterfly kiss was at bedtime.
My middle daughter's faint snore from her deep slumber a few moments ago.
A parent saying thanks for helping her little man be a bit more successful in school this year.
My husband, saying he loved me with a sweet kiss, when I told him I would take the dog for a walk this evening.
I am so glad I wanted to listen today.
You are an amazing listener...I always think that after I hang up - I always realized how much I babble about nothing important when you are the one who probably needs a listener with how much you have going on!
