This morning I am having my moments of solitude...
This time in my day has become like breathing to me....it's my fresh breath. I need it now...I need solitude.....its the food for my soul. I notice that if I don't find time to be quiet....I will become restless...irritable. Before the loss of Gord I avoided time alone, I felt uncomfortable, like a loner. Now I relish in this time.
I started to reflect on the day ahead and had many thoughts surface. Today I am taking my boys to see the new Star Wars movie. There is a buzz in the house. I began to realize that today could be one those magical memorable moments in their childhood. I remember when I saw my first Star Wars movie. I remember being in awe... filled with excitement and hanging off my seat in the moments of battle. I remember falling in love with characters, wanting to be certain characters. I remember shocking plot twists that blew my mind. The music was epic, the filming was out of this world amazing!
Star Wars is epic!
Today I am taking my boys to Star Wars!
Today I am reliving my childhood and sharing a new epic experience with my boys!
What is also epic is parenting. I'm really beginning to see the joy in reliving my childhood....to see the world through child's eyes. My boys remind me how simple life can be. Parenting is finally becoming the way I pictured it....the way I imagined it would be........the way I use to dream it would be.
It's getting easier!
This morning I noticed my house is clean, my laundry is done and the fridge is full. I got to sleep until 8:30. All I have ahead today is a day with family. I have arrived! I can see that this is the time in my family life where my boys can easily jump in the vehicle and are thrilled to spend a day with their mom.....this might not last forever. There are no more bottles, diapers, planning in naps, no more temper tantrums....I can have day trip to Jasper and it's nothing but family time......
So....here I am writing for the first time in months. I am writing today because I feel inspired to be a parent...and I'm anticipating to be inspired by a film that was memorable in my childhood and will most likely be a memorable film in my boys childhood. I am also writing because I took a moment to observe life and appreciate what today has to offer....also observing how far my family has come helps me to appreciate where my life is today!
Happy Sunday! Happy reflections!
