Nitty~Gritty

random thoughts about my life

I’ve learned a lot about myself this past week. I’m too hard on myself most days but today I stopped enough to breath and respect my surroundings. I can actually say that I’ve enjoyed being alone with my thoughts. Usually, they drive me into sleepless nights but I found them relaxing. I’ve been going to bed before the sun even thinks about waking up. I’ve read and actually had time to savor every word. Take it in. Absorb. Today, while in our Zen garden, (sand box) my toes were squishing the sand beneath and I loved how it felt. Spirited toddler ran naked outside for hours while I held the hose in the air, finger covering the hole, spraying it everywhere. He was screaming, “Look mommy, it’s raining.” I wondered when the last time he actually felt rain. He did today. Completely covered in mud, he runs up and hugs my legs. I squeeze him and try to remember the moment.

I agree toes in the sand is indeed sensual. I look forward to diong just that in a few months. Spirited toddler is a lucky kid to have a mom that can make it rain in the desert
