Moment to Myself
Are there moments, however brief, when you think “this is me”? You feel just right, completely comfortable.
This evening, after a busy afternoon then dinner for me and baby, I took myself to the library to pick up held items. The sun was setting, cool breezes blew, I could turn the music up. As I walked toward the library the breeze blew my hair, it was as if I were sitting on a beach. I felt free and peaceful.
I picked up my movies, got two more, walked happily back to the car and spent the ride home singing along with my “top rated” playlist. I got to use my full voice, not the small one I use when others are with me but I can’t help but sing. What did I sing? “Begin the Beguine” by Sheryl Crow, “When the Rain Comes” by Third Day.
What made the moment even better was knowing what awaited me at home, those sweet little faces. I loved that private, breezy cool moment to myself, driving just myself on an errand for my own entertainment. Then I got to return to my beautiful girls, the fulfillment of a life-goal and prayer, another part of myself.
