This Feeling

I’m reclined on the sectional, feet up with my son exaggerating about his greatness at gym. As I reflect on the last year of life I feel peace. Peace I didn’t know I’d have. As I close my eyes my thoughts, which are normally racing, have started to slow down. My daughter is lying in my lap guiding my hand to return to her back if I’m bold enough to move it.

My wife is subject to wide placements over her stomach as I feel the first few days of the new baby kicking.

Life is so much better than I deserve in this moment. The current challenge is being present and not counting down until the good days are over.

The next post will be a letter to younger me..
