I just sat

Despite being super busy, I have taken the time to just sit and enjoy my blessings. And when I say busy, I mean, work, playing phone tag with University of New Mexico, church, vacation after vacation, marathon training....you know, life. I am not complaining about being busy, I actually enjoy being on the go. But sometimes it is nice just to sit. Yesterday, I did just that. I just sat. I watched Max play. I watched Phil and Max play. I had very important conversations with Max about Cars and Cliff Bars. I soaked in my life. And boy! I am very blessed!

While I just sat, I watched how my almost 3 year old problem solved. I listened to how he remembers Disneyland and Noah's bunk bed. I fell in love with him even more. Being his mother is by far the greatest gift I have ever been given.

I also watched as Phil and him played together. Phil works a very long day, teaching 5th graders. He then goes and gives guitar lessons, he then volunteers with middle school boys at our church and he still, no matter how tired he is, drops everything and races around the house playing 'Cars 2'. He loves being a father. Max and I are very lucky. He is one of the very best dads around :)

Max and I saw this. I wonder what he wished for? I wished for time to slow down just a little, to ensure that I don't miss any of the blessings that I have in my life.
