Each post displays a picture that depicts where I felt an intersection between myself and the spiritual throughout the day and/or throughout my life. Pictures link back to past moments and present moments. Please use the comment to discuss the pictures and I will answer as best I can

Joslyn being silly at lunch at Chipotle without crying or fighting
I'd also like to add "Picture of myself going to the gym and then getting to take a quiet shower by myself" but that would be an awkward photo to post for the internet.
I think I feel God most every time that I have a moment like yesterday when things are quiet, nobody needs anything, and I can just sit and enjoy my life. They are very few and far between and I feel like I am constantly in search of them. So I'd say I cherish them more than I can really describe. I think about before I was so busy and there are things I wish I could tell myself if I could go back. At the same time, I truly appreciate the amount of maturity that I've gained not just from being a mom, but from my marriage, from going to school, and even from moving.
And also, I would like to add that I cannot deal with the moments when Joslyn is crying, James and I are furious with each other, the house is a mess, and we are running late unless I have moments like yesterday to think about. Sometimes in the chaos I can pause and see Joslyn laughing or all three of us playing together and I feel like I can make it through the day without screaming.
How much do you cherish those simple, quiet moments to yourself now that you have so many demands on your time?
