Simplicity. Joy. Presence.
This photo encapsulates all three elements for me. My tall teenager with his 5-year old cousin, shining with happiness and connection after an hour in the sun and snow.
Weekdays are busy, full of tasks and things to accomplish - they are days when I find I NEED to (and do) schedule in time to just BE.
My weekends are precious tidbits of time that I relish and protect. These are the days where deliberately spending time on simple pleasures fills me up and prepares me for the busy week ahead. Sometimes those simple pleasures involve organizing a messy drawer (so satisfying!), visiting Home Depot for the millionth time with my husband to look at tile options, tackling a new recipe, or making hot cocoa for my nephew (WITH marshmallows!).
The laundry still gets done, the meals get planned and the groceries get purchased. But it's the simple, joyful moments of presence that stand out in my mind and heart and FUEL me for the weekdays ahead.
