Today...

I remembered the importance of SLOWING DOWN. Of being a mommy. Of baking cookies and allowing messiness. Of singing silly made-up songs and ignoring the piles of unfolded laundry. Of staying in pajamas way passed breakfast.
I called in sick to work (I AM sick, but rarely call in sick when I am), relinquished To-Do lists, let go of all the "shoulds" and "supposed toos" I have been holding on to and just WAS.
And well...I enjoyed myself and my day with Sonia...immensley. I enjoyed myself far more than I think I should have, yet felt no hint of guilt.

Today, I was just a mommy. Happy. Centered. Present...

Perfect.

Today...

Well, today...

I'll remember.
