December 8 Moment of peace. An hour or a day or a week of solitude. What was the quality of your breath? The state of your mind? How did you get there?
there is something like that out there? i just assumed it was one of those elusive concepts.
today. this year. its a different time and season. moments of peace aren't necessarily quiet, but rather:
ted climbing into bed and saying- let me tell you something, but to him it's just a phrase, so the something never comes. he follows it with a hug or a kiss. i ask him if he wants a ___ and he says "sure. be right back."
or lulu demanding something in her 5 year old bossy voice. moments later she comes back, professes her love for me and tells me i look pretty.
or adam having a little down time and willingly spends it running menial errands or other such nonsense.
funny. i wouldn't have thought to attach the word peace to describe these moments.. but isn't it?

You're definitely right about these being moments of peace. My friend Jenn blogged about similar moments in her household being her moments of peace as well. I love reading about these.
This is great. I especially loved Teddy's "let me tell you something..." where the something never comes. I guess that's not the important part, just making the connection with you!
My peace definitely comes in moments.
