Playing peacefully

My home is always loud. My daughter has a sensory disorder and she loves noise, even if it herself screaming or humming constantly. I noticed today, however, it was peaceful for a moment. I was washing dishes that have been left in the sink for 3 days and I turned off the water, because I didn't hear anything! DD was putting puzzles together and DS was watching intently. I smiled and paused and thanked God for the peace. Sure, there is peace when they both are sleeping, but this was a different peace that doesn't come to this home of toddlers very often. I crave and seek this peace. Life is so busy with running around and preparing meals, and trying to keep all the hats on and all the plates spinning. There are moments like these that remind me why I started this journey of motherhood. My babies..my inspiration.

write every day

I need a place to ramble every day and practice creative writing, so this will be it. I'm taking an online course on internet writing, and my goal is to get published, so I will keep taking classes and write (even if only for 5 minutes) everyday. This may be more of a diary, but at least I will get the creative juices flowing.
