I looked around upstairs at the different toys and baby stuff- baby bathtub sitting on the floor in our bedroom, books from Copey’s room scattered on our bedroom floor, laundry waiting to be hung up or taken downstairs, bath toys sitting in the empty bath tub from this mornings baths, burp clothes thrown on the bed (clean and dirty), diapers tossed in the hallway. Today was a unique day where I did not look at all of these things as a “Oh, I need to pick that up or clean that or toss that in the trash or put away.” I had a rare moment of gratitude and love for the life I live. All the “stuff” laying about…just was an exhibit of life well lived in our house this morning.
