… reading in bed, candles, diving into a new project, learning something new, crisp crunchy leaves underfoot, hearing my daughter laugh, starting a new book, finishing a book, organizing, floating on my back in the pool and staring at the sky, writing, craft supplies, photography, poetry, a good massage, knowing smiles, singing along to the radio, getting things done, comfy bedding, hot chocolate, paying attention to the details, libraries and bookstores, campfires, astronomy, finding beauty in the everyday, impromptu road trips, quiet, journaling, learning about myself, waking up and reading in bed (preferably with coffee), home, interesting flowers, affection, Sleepytime tea, capturing a moment in time with my camera, true laughter, soft rain.

Naomi,
This is so eloquently said! The shift into motherhood is so profound.

I’m so glad you’re finding ways to balance mom-dom and me-dom that feel good to you.

Balance. It’s all about balance and flexibility. Just when you think you have it all figured out kids reach another phase in their development and their needs change. Or you reach another stage yourself. 🙂

That is so true, Susan. APPRECIATING what each phase brings is the tricky part!
I had no idea that you also played guitar! I am attempting to learn but haven’t gotten good enough to play for others. I am also attempting to learn Bach Bouree on mandolin. I enjoy practicing very much, perhaps because it forces me to really focus on playing, and not think about anything else.
I would love to play the mandolin! How fun. I love it’s sound. What you mention is why I love art so much… no thinking, just feeling.
