A BIRD'S EYE VIEW OF THE KIDS...LIVING IN THE MOMENT

A comment from judie on one of my blogs says she will try to just live in the moment for the day, that things go better that way. It occurs to me tha when the twins come for the day, that's how we do spend the day, constantly in the moment. And that's what makes it so much fun and so delightful...no time to worry about anything much. We just try to keep up to them and we are almost always doing what they want to do, getting them snacks, or reading stories, or breaking up little fights, whatever. We are very involved with what's happening at the moment. At the end of the day, I am tired, but not really exhausted, worn out, but in a balanced way. Maybe knowing we will both sleep and rest is somehow more restful. My mind is too tired to worry about much more than just sitting down for a bit with a book and going to bed. If I'm seeing them tomorrow, well, tomorrow will get here as scheduled and we will start it out brand-new, clean slate, not too much expectations. It's a good idea, to live in the moment. I think it's a healthy idea, not always easy to do, but worth the effort.
