Back again

After days of coughing and fevers - which I felt absolutely wretched about, I had her outside all morning in the wind without a hat. Thought we had turned a corner today.

She seemed to sleep alright. Kept covering her back up and putting on her hat.

We got dressed up and went out. Only to have her cough start up just as awful as that first night. And she was so cold. So now we are back at home again all bundled up.

I have her snuggled up with me in my bed, finally warmed up and sleeping soundly. So peacefully.

Oh my littlest one.

Well the extra rest will do my throat some good too.


It's the big turkey weekend. I'm not cooking today, just holding a sick little girl close.

Tomorrow I'll get all five to help me turn my kitchen into a pumpkin pie machine.

It will smell amazing for sure. Nothing better than home baked from scratch filled with love deserts.

Court wants pie and I don't want commercial stuff. Think we'll do an apple one also.

I could cook a turkey tonight I suppose.

One can never have enough turkey.


Little people snuggles are truly wonderful.

They can fix anything. Makes the outside world seem so far away and less awful.

Little bits of oasis'.

Tranquility.


Like pressing pause on the chaos, just for a moment.

This is what matters most.


Not clients, or contracts, nor the assignments or people or money.

This right here holding her, this is important.


Not lofty halls, or glittering jewels. Not great wealth or political or scientific achievement

As much as what is found in my heart.

Stuff that matters. Moments to last for a lifetime.
