Slowing Down

Life has slowed down, waaaay d o w n. I am trying to be okay with my new limitations.

I can't do laundry

I can't vacuum

I can't pick up a room

I can't carry things

I can't go for a walk or run

I can't go grocery shopping

I can't drive

So, I can get a little frustrated (some might say cranky :). But luckily, I have this sweet little girl at home that wants to spend time with me. And whom I am now able to give my full, undistracted, undivided attention.

I get to listen to her tell me stories and talk my ear off.

She courtesy laughs at my jokes.

She tells me when I get too loud or excited.

She gets frustrated when I don't know how to play the game right.

And apparently, she doesn't find it very funny when

I take photos of this:

I am grateful for these little trials that help me remember to slow down, to enjoy the simple things, and to spend time with my family.

( I am also grateful for an amazing husband who is picking up all of my slack).
