slow life movement

Terry and the boys were playing happily and dinner was already on the table. In the past I would have tried to rush them to the table so that we could eat our soup hot, yet this time I was able to stop myself and enjoy the moment rather than rushing them to the table to have hot soup. Which is more important, hot soup or time with family? I think the latter. I do feel that this week I've made progress in slowing down life and enjoying the moments of life rather than being in the current moment anticipating the next. It has been much more pleasant and enjoyable. Ah, deep breath.

N is sleeping better at night and I am so thankful for this new turn of events in my life. Sleep is a privilege but it is so nice when I get more of it. I still have a lingering sense of being tired but I think that this will pass with time, I hope.
