A Good Day

Today I listened. I was sitting in my bedroom reading when I heard my husband making a snack for our sons. I listened to them run and play. I listened to the corn pop. I listened to the baby sleep. I listened to the bowls and the silver clang. I listened to my husband send my oldest son to “see what your mom is doing.” I listened to my son run up the stairs and I smiled and looked him in the eye when he asked me, “What are you doing?” I listened to my youngest son run to the popcorn bowl. My soul was happy. Today was a good day.
