SHHHHHH! We are at the library, and oh man is is so peaceful. I think my heart is filled with joy right now, because this is exactly what I needed. A quiet break.
Well I guess the universe knew this too, because I came here to work on my volunteer tax preparation questions but forgot my workbook at home lol. So thank you Universe for reminding me I need a break.
It is beautiful how quiet and calm my kids are here. I guess it is because we are all told at least 5,000 times in the first 5 years or so of our life that the library is a quiet place. Maybe I should have told my kids that about our home lol.
I don't mind them being wild. In fact I love it! I hope that being wild sets their hearts on fire and ignites a passion in them that changes the world. However, I wouldn't mind a little bit more peace at home sometimes.
The best I can do is to try and calm myself more and hope that it brings their energy down a notch too. Oh, and continue to bribe them to do more meditations with me lol. I know I know...terrible mother. Bribing kids? Who does that? ;)
But yes, a calmer home begins with a calmer me--and I am working on that. I have a million and one excuses that I could rely on to be anxious I suppose, but my kids are the most important reason for me to choose calming love. I can do this.
So after the library, comes some time outdoors, cleaning the bus, meditation, calming love, AND then work. Redirecting my focus to my kids doesn't make my work less important. It simply means I am working on the thing that is most important.
Sending you all love and hugs, and the peace and quiet of a library.
Keep praying for our world. Pray for our Earth. Pray for each other. Pray for our families. PRay for our children. Pray for hope. Pray for love. Pray for joy. Pray for you! Pray for me. And always always pray for my sweet sweet Elijah.
Thank you.
I love you Elijah.
I love you I love you I love you.
Missing you.
Always.
