Seeing Taylor excel at her tumbling class, watching her face light up when she nailed her jumps on the very first day.
Babysitting for Jessica's children today. Pushing them on the swing set in my backyard remembering how much fun my girls were at that age. Singing twinkle twinkle little star and the wheels on the bus all day long listening to the newly formed words of a two year old and the all knowing attitude of a lovely diva four year old.
Cutting flowers from my yard and bringing them inside.
Snuggling with Chad during the couple of hours of free time I had before the girls got home from school today.
Being asked to direct an informal painting class at our upcoming womyns camp.
Knowing that Chad will love the TLC course this month, even if he can't fully give of himself in front of all those people yet, and that he will forever be involved with them in some way. Because it is his nature to be kind and helpful.
A lovely discussion while sitting on the front porch with Chad last evening watching the full moon rise over our quiet neighborhood.
Listening to Kelsey's excitement about joining the Math Club at school.
That my mother never says no when asked to babysit no matter what the situation or how complicated.
That Michael's mother lives here and spends time with the girls as often as she can influencing them in ways that I can't.
Really examining my matriarchal family, seeing the similarities in the women in my family, realizing their need to control situations is based in fear and taking steps to change that in my own life.
Like the goddess says, "asking, asking, asking for what I want" Has gotten me a lot further than my usual way of handling things. I thought it would be so hard, but it's really so simple and a lot more direct. It's so much easier, less energy wasted by just saying what I need.
Comfort
