Simple

Lately, life feels hard. Like every day is a struggle.

And today was one of the toughest. It was a day where I found myself all caught up and distraught in all the complexities in our lives right now.

And then I gave the boys a bath. In our tub. The special tub. The one with that was big and had a fancy window over it and jets in it.

And watching them play and explore in the water instantly calmed me. It wasn't the "watching" I normally do...the really.I'm.cleaning.the.bathroom.at.the.same.time.watching. I just sat.

Still.

And really watched them.

There is something about this smile..



or these eyes...



or looking as hard as you can to find any of that baby that was your first born in this grown child in front of you...



It was the watching this one try and figure out why bubbles weren't coming out...



and the wondering of what he is thinking...



and knowing that you could never love anything more than that sweet yummy face.

And while there will always be those overwhelming, crazy moments that come along with life...



for today, the simple is enough. It's what I crave. It's what calms me.

It's watching my two sweet boys enjoy a "fancy" bath and soaking up every moment of it.

So moments like these don't pass me on by.



Enough.
