I want to be able to share with you all the moments that I find the complete contentment with the hope that you all will be mindful of glimpses of bliss in your busy world.
Bliss is when you look up and take notice of the beauty in the moment.
Bliss is when chaos, love, and laughter collide.
It's when you have that feeling of pause because maybe you actually did do something right.
Bliss is when you are able to see the world from the eager, trusting eyes of your child or through the patient, wise eyes of your grandma.
Yesterday, bliss was watching my 15 month old baby boy play with the beat up (cut too many times by the yard guy's edger) waterhose.
To him, the warm concrete under his bare feet, the cold water pouring out of the hose, and freedom to spray it everywhere was nothing more than pure fun.
Watching him do this after my long day was bliss.
I grabbed my camera.
(A little cheese cracker left behind from pre dinner snack in that pic above.)
Somedays are definitely more blissful than others that's for sure. I encourage you to look for those moments every day. More often than not, they are probably there, but we might not be paying attention.
When that cold water splashes your feet on the warm concrete driveway, smile and enjoy. The water dries, the plants recover from the "watering", and those little feet get bigger than yours-all before you know it.
Love, Momma
