This week I haven't felt very deep.
I keep trying to think of
something insightful or reflective to write, but the inspiration hasn't
been flowing.
Instead I feel like laughing and playing - taking a
lesson from my little people.
And maybe that's a post in and of itself.
To my children, silliness comes naturally. When I'm in a
rush or feeling serious, this silliness irritates me.
But that's why I'm
so blessed to spend my time with little ones who can help this Mama
lighten up.
So follow your children's cues today.
Laugh, tickle,
do the funky chicken to loud music in the living room, and read aloud to
them in hysterical voices.
One day our homes will be quiet. Today
is not that day.
So let's enjoy it and be silly moms.
