note de Noël Letter | Day 15 "Calm"

In the morning, my daughter, still looking sleepy,
crawls under the covers saying, "Mom, wake up."

Wrapped in that warmth,
I think that it's okay to take it a little slow today.

Back when I was rushing to get ready to leave the house,
I was always caught in a "wind of rushing."
But now, I feel like I've learned
to stop for just a moment.

The morning light, a steaming mug,
my daughter's bedhead, and her laughter.
Each of these things brings "calm" to me.

Being calm doesn't mean
that there are no waves at all,
but having the "space in your heart" to accept those waves.

There are days when things don't go well,
and nights when I can't find the right words,
but I hope I can forgive myself for that,
and start over gently once more.

I want to be a calm mother.
That wish has become my light.

🕯 Today's light word lottery: "Calm"

Reading is fine, writing is fine.
