Today

One of the downsides to a break in blogging is getting back into the swing of it.
I’m sitting here thinking of all the things I could natter on about.  About how our kids have been sick for the last two weeks, taking turns at keeping us up at night, and attentive during the day. About how I had my own share of sickness, for 48 very long hours.  About how we lost internet connection for a whole day and I felt like I had my arms cut off. Or I could talk about the extra cuddles I got as I lay on the couch comforting and being comforted in turn. About the deep feeling of satisfaction and primeval sense of purpose in mothering my babies, and the rawness and gratitude of then being nurtured by my children. Getting a brief glimpse at the circle of life.  And I could probably mention the joy in being undistracted, having a whole day with nothing to do but play (must remember to switch the internet off more often).
But I’m not sure where to start.  And if I started writing, really writing, I might not know where to stop.

Instead, for now, I’ll make do with a photo. I can always manage a photograph.  Even in the midst of sickness and craziness our lives get documented.
This one is a piece of today.  It was a beautiful day. A day well spent, and fully treasured.
