As I walked through the almost quiet house, having just gave one something for her cough and another joins us always reluctant to go to bed and I'm feeling impatient and tired and I send them back to bed and walk through my room tripping over the towel on the floor, irritation joining the mix and upon entering the bathroom that is still in its afterbath explosion glancing at the still full tub of now dirty water and angry now that it is just one more thing to take care of I pause and breathe in and out and remember the giggles as they bathed a few hours earlier....realizing that too often I focus on the clean up and miss the moment
Trying to be in the moment ...to be present now. Sometimes it takes a bath tub full of water to remind me of that
