Gratitude

…e, in all its issues, complexities, and disasters, is also very beautiful. And by saying thank you we acknowledge the special role that we and everyone plays and we embrace that. Gratitude allows us to say that we love our life and we are living it fully, in the way that it was intended and we desire the same for every other person. So today, I say thank you so much.

This Too Shall Pass

…m all over. I know that soon they’ll grow and will no longer besot me. The way she roots around with her floppy little head to find my tender nipple, will soon pass as she learns to find it with her eyes. I laugh as she often mistakes her tiny hand for the portal to her dinner and shoves it in her mouth to suck.
