(no subject)
I've been thinking about my life and how much drudgery is in it. It really can't be helped. There's housekeeping, lessons, kids' activities, etc. So I've been trying to pinpoint the most important thing that happened to me in my day. I was surprised at what I deemed was most important.
Yesterday, the most important thing was cuddling with my 6 year old son and just talking quietly. Its hard having an older brother AND sister. He loses at every game they play and he's highly competitive.
Today, I thought the most important thing would be the hour I took lying in my bed after my shower. I just laid there and completed multiple thoughts. It was so decadent. I successfully fought the guilt I had for doing such a thing while I heard Troy trying to corral the kids. Ahhhhh.
But, ultimately the most important thing I did today was paint the symbolic rings on my oldest son's arrow of light. I was more concerned about painting it right for the ceremony & then as I started doing it I realized how much it really meant. We have learned, accomplished, and grown so much in the last 3 years. I've been there to see it all and I am so proud of the person he is and will be. And I am so thankful for the journey he has taken me on. I'm thankful, too, that my part of the journey isn't over, yet. The day is coming though when he'll be on his own and from what I'm seeing now he's going to be up for the challenge.
