Celebrating life’s little mercies
Occasionally I feel completely suffocated by life, overwhelmed by responsibilities and decisions, confused by the apparent lack of choices, just completely saddened by it’s reality, but it’s also at those darkest times that I have the most awesome moments of peace.
I stepped out of the house into the perfect night, very slight drizzle, light breeze, the sound of melting snow trickling down; if I closed my eyes, I could imagine I was by an ocean, I could instantly feel happiness. It’s funny how life can serve you the very thing, that you didn’t know you needed, to mend your soul, at the exact moment that you needed it.
I worked out with the perky twins again, but this time they made me smile, and no, not in a “I used to be 100lbs and not jiggly at one time too, you just wait until you have 3 kids!” kind of way, but I wished for them the best that life has to offer.
Now, I am going to have crackers and Camembert, and cheesecake for dinner… because I can!
