The Perfect Beginning

I have thought long and hard to try to find the perfect beginning to this blog.  I decided this morning that the perfect start would be to talk about the perfect start that I have to the day on Saturday and Sunday mornings.  My darling Dave gives me the same blessed gift every weekend.
The acts of love include:
Dave gets up early and plays video games until Mira wakes and stirs from her room. He takes this time to do something he enjoys without taking time from us.
When Mira is ready to get out of bed, Dave changes gears and sets her up with breakfast (very often he will cook eggs) and then setup a movie or game that they will enjoy together.
When I decide it is time to emerge, I crack open the door to take in a bit of their morning...but as soon as Mira spots me, she stops, squeals MaMa, and comes running over to hug me. Dave smiles.

This morning was just a tad different but even more love is being felt in my heart..Due to a craving for doughnuts, Dave and Mira have ventured out to Joliet (approximate a 30 minute drive) to get some of the good stuff.  The decedent delights that could only be produce by a small family owned shop.  So I have an additional hour of quiet me time. Now they are home; so it is time to get on with the business of the day.

Stay In the Moment

I found this picture a while back and love to look at it to remind me to stay in the moment.
(I wish I had saved the name of the artist).
