I found a moment of peace in the roses, even though their perfect buds have gone, and they have seen better days. I was intriuged to see what beauty they did have left. Just like any ageing, whether it be roses or people, the beauty is still there, it just needs to be looked at in a new way. The purple flowers (name?) were a fantastic surprise, hidden away under some other plants.
The childers brought me breakfast in bed this morning. The delight on their faces was gorgeous! Two pieces of toast with peanut butter and a biscuit ('For your treat Mum!'). I was so rapt, and oh so proud. Since then we have had a broken bike and a broken garage door... I'm anxiously waiting for the third... They are boys. They go fast. They are loud. I wouldn't have them any other way. My whirlwind boys make me laugh, and sometimes cry, but, they are my life, and my sunshine.
I'm having a 'day off' the buttons and fabric today. It is nice to just breathe.
I might even cook dinner. But, probably not. A day off should be for all things I think!
The childers are watching a movie, I hear giggling, I might go join them, I think a good giggle and a snuggle on the couch is in order.
such beautiful words...almost brought a trickle!!
