We’re back to a normal Monday - busy multitasking school, a full time job, and motherhood. My husband left early in the morning for an out of state work trip, while I spend the evening trying to multitask mommin and studying, making dinner, preparing my daughter’s meals for tomorrow and taking care of our pets, but I was so well taken care of, heard, centered, and loved on Mother’s Day that it has given me strength and vibrancy again after a couple stressful months trying to juggle everything on my plate. Today I feel lighter and like I can accomplish anything, especially with my husband by my side. We didn’t have any big elaborate plans and it was the wholesome, nourishing day I needed. In the morning he gave me a couple interrupted hours to get some of my laundry done I had been putting off and stressed about while he made breakfast and took care of everything for our baby, he planted the herbs in our herb garden, he bought gifts for the grandmothers and wrapped them with cards, he dug and built me a raised garden bed while we played outside with our baby, and he organized and made dinner for us and his parents to enjoy together. He was exhausted at the end of the day! lol. And really got a glimpse of what I typically take on for special occasions. He wrote me a card showing me he really sees me and my efforts, and he bought me some native plants for our little forest. I had time to write and journal, and listen to music and just be. It was the best day I could have asked for and I am just feeling so nourished and valued and appreciative that I get to spend my life with someone as caring and kind hearted as my man. He is the best dad to our daughter, he springs into action when I’m asking for change, and he challenges me when I’m being ungrounded. We have full trust in each other to build the life of our dreams together and we take action in doing it for ourselves, our family, and for each other. It’s been 11 years, almost 7 years married and I have absolutely no regrets in this man. Thankful!
