I've been pondering the happiness of my little girls.
The way they beam and shine when I give them my full attention. {Listening with my eyes and my ears. Listening with my heart.}
I see it in their little cherub faces. How good that makes them feel. {Loved, valued, wanted, wonderful, appreciated}.
I've done a great job of making life busy lately and even though I stopped to slow it all down, I forgot to give myself the time to soak in this feeling too.
That heart-warming heart-filling feeling of I've been heard, noticed, loved, appreciated. {Without any interruptions}.
It fills you up. {Nourishes you}. Gives you energy. {And love}.
It fills you up with more love to give.

{On Thursday I felt all of this. So this week I'm most grateful for Thursday, and for those that listened to me {with their ears and hearts and without interruptions} My heart and my soul felt heard on Thursday. It put at least a dozen apples in my basket, I'm sure xx}
{Linking with loads more gratitude over at Kidspot's 52 Weeks of Grateful.}
What do you feel grateful for this week?
Some days you really have those moments where everything hits you (in a good way) and you cant stop beaming about what you have created and how amazing it all is... I understand how that is.. and I had a Thursday just like that too xxxx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder to soak it all in sometimes, Elisa. I love it when their faces light up and you know that you've played a part in putting that light there. x
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteI know I need to step back and take the time to soak it all up rather than stress out. :)
Nothing is more fulfilling than seeing genuinely happy faces on your kids, and knowing that you're responsible for that. Yes, we should bask in that happiness.
ReplyDeleteSo true and inspiring.
