Saw a quote this morning:
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
Of course it would have to be Oprah who said it.
Sometimes the life of your dreams isn’t something you conjure up first. Sometimes you’re living it & in the quiet moments, you realize that hey, this is the life I’ve been dreaming about.
I snuck away while baby was still sleeping this morning & peeked at him. Instead of his usual slumber, he was perked up, sitting there, patiently waiting for me.
No cries, no whines. Just a little smile, saying, good morning mom.
Surely I didn’t do enough to deserve this vast fortune of being his mother. I’ve had a lot of great things happen to me (quite luckily) & I try to learn from the less lucky things that happen.
But this? Motherhood? Oh, it’s gold.
Must hold on to these precious moments for many times in a day my patience wears thin & I am feeling far from grateful.
Thanks Oprah for always having the words to inspire my reflection for gratitude.
