A full heart.
It's the second of our two birthday gifts from my in-laws and our last adult weekend away where we won't have to arrange kid-minders and hug a part of our hearts goodbye in exchange for some time to ourselves. We're both a little off, not quite feeling good, brains preoccupied with work, unknown travel dates, impending holidays. Yet, in someways that's when a break is needed most. Brains off, relaxing sound of the ocean outside the door, blue sea and skies to stare at while the brain filters and sorts away.
We are at one time soaking up the peace of the weekend and yet know that we would give anything for first light squeals and bouncing on the bed. As every parent rolls their eyes and thinks, "just wait," yes, we know. This, however, is life on the cusp of a big change. Soaking up the good in what will be different tomorrow, attempting to see the future and dream of what will be.
For this one moment the todo lists are put aside, obligations are on hold, sun and breeze are soaking through us as our brains and hearts stretch between two existences.
It's a great time for a nap.
