Lately, I have been sitting on the couch eating bon bons. Well, that is my answer when my husband asks "How was your day?" or "What are you doing right now?" (as he calls in the middle of the day). I don't like bon bons so I never really would just sit and eat them but the idea of being able to just sit in the middle of the day and enjoy a sinful treat sounds like true bliss. But who am I kidding? I am a mother to 3 young boys. If I have a moment where they are playing peacefully then I am frantically cleaning, washing, organizing or at least acting as if I am productive.
Today was different. Today I ate my bon bons. Wait, I don't like them. But I did enjoy a moment today one that I hope to embrace more often because it was truly a special moment.
I sat on the couch and watched as all three boys were playing. One independently and the other two side by side. I just sat and didn't even think about the million other things that I could do in order to check them off my to do list. I sat and watched and listened. The beauty of family and siblings came through as my oldest helped his younger brother find the fastest car for the race track.
It's a moment that is difficult to put into words but one that will melt a mother's heart, as it did mine tonight.
And so, tomorrow I will try to eat more bon bons.
