Dancing

Close your eyes, think of the song “Let your love flow… just let your love flow, like a mountain stream, and let your love grow with the smallest of dreams…”
Now picture a mom in the kitchen in the evening, her two kids near her feet, everyone swaying to the music and not worrying about anything because its fun to just dance and be together. Picture her holding an 8 month old girl on one hip and a three year old boy on the other, swaying to the music, closing her eyes and thinking that there’s nothing better than this moment. And on the day that I married David I knew we were heading into a life full of adventure but I never could have imagined the pleasure I’d get from simply closing my eyes, holding my children, and enjoying the moment. Hearing my daughter singing along in her own way, and my son wrapping his arms around my neck and saying “I love you mama.” These are the moments I never want to forget, the moments that make parenting the most fulfilling job in the world, the moments that make me know my life is full and happy and complete.
