What is Perfect?

May 5, 2011 by

It’s past his bedtime and approaching mine. I slip under my covers exhausted from the day, looking over at his tiny bed just a couple feet away. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like he has any intention of falling asleep. If only his bed wasn’t right next to mine, if only he had his own room, if only he would go to sleep, if only…

His little head bobs up and he begins throwing me kisses, one after another, the good kind that come with the puckered lip sound. His smile beams from cheek to cheek and I can’t help but return the giggles he sends my way as the barrage of kisses keep coming.

I can’t help but think… this is perfect.

What is something that isn’t exactly ideal in your life, but something that brings you much joy?

  1. Working 25 hours a week while being a full time wife and mom. I have been at my job for 11 years and love it even though it is hard, really hard to do some days.

      Thanks Jasmine! I can imagine that would be very hard, but also have its joys as well.
