In the kitchen, cooking. I’m cutting onions and bell peppers and there is jazz playing and it’s the good kind; the kind that makes me sway and smile as I cook. We’ve had the kind of day that doesn’t require anything of us; no work, no appointments. No errands to run and no place to be but here. Home. We’ve just been eating and playing and swimming and spent time on the couch and it’s been regular and so very every-day and marvelous. I just went for a run and now I have a cold glass of wine on the counter in front of me and in my body there is that simple, beautiful sense of tiredness that comes from having moved a little. ⁣⁣

I reach for the tomatoes when Dennis reaches for me. “Dance with me”, he says. He does that often; pulls me in to dance even though we’re both crap at dancing and he’s a little sarcastic but also 100% serious. It’s not quite dancing but mostly just us swaying, hugging, being close. I pretend he’s annoying me because I’m in the middle of something but actually, I love it. I love dancing in the kitchen with my husband with food on the stove and the dogs at our feet. There is jazz and candles lit and everything is so familiarly wonderful and just as I nuzzle my face into his neck to sink into the moment Lea Luna comes running. “Mommy! Daddy! I want cuddles too!”. So we pick her up and now it’s the three of us, dancing, hugging, swaying... So close. She rests her head on my chest and I can feel her little heart beating right in between ours, right where she’s supposed to be. Everything is right where it’s supposed to be. Just us. Our home. Our family. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I know that any second now she’ll wriggle her way back down and the dogs will bark and it will be time to get ready for bed and there are books to read and teeth to brush and things to do and at any moment, the spell will be broken and regular life will resume. But right now, here now, standing in the kitchen, just the three of us... My life is perfect. Everything is perfect. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s Thursday evening - just a regular Thursday. And it’s the greatest day of my life.

eggplant_rollatini Listening to your podcast in this very moment..and it’s so bizarre I feel as though in this moment our lives are so oddly parallel. I’ve been talking in therapy about my relationship with close family and how the lack of structure for me growing up turned into anxious energy that had no place to go, body image issues, etc..it’s so awfully difficult because I cannot explain to her in the right words that says ‘I just need you to say, ‘I’m sorry; I tried my best, parenting is difficult.’ I just want to say to you, you place your life (past, present, future, dreams) openly available to us and we don’t always give positive things back to you. So I’m hoping this does. I feel you. I feel the resentment for the anger and memories of the joy between that. (That makes the anger so confusing!) We are here for you too! Just like you have opened yourself to us here is something in return 💕thank you, Rachel. I hope you read this and l hope you feel understood, a little more whole, human and filled. We are all human. Sometimes it’s oddly funny how emotions are so similar among us.

artbycina Det här fick mig att gråta. Träffade rakt i hjärtat! ❤️ Det är dom här stunderna, det enkla, det självklara, en mamma en pappa och ett barn, allt på rätt plats, vardagsmys och total kärlek som jag saknar mest efter vår separation. Den sorgen är den svåraste att bära och rädslan att aldrig hitta tillbaka dit! 😢

deagram Sparar denna text som en påminnelse om att vardagen och det enkla, även om en kärleksfull familj inte är något att ta för givet, faktiskt är det värdefullaste som finns 😊 så vackert och personligt skrivet, tack för detta! ❤️

angenewman13 Made me cry! You always have such an incredible way of painting such a vivid picture with your beautiful words. I love these times with my little family too, pure mindfulness right there 😍❤️

the_kerry_hughes This made me cry, the simple gratitude for a perfect moment. This is an missing, lost in sea of inner turmoil! I will try to be more present in my own moments

odermatt_karin @shvwnvthedevd Wishing you strenght and keep focusing on your goals snd dreams. The first year with a newborn is often tuff. You deserve respect and love🙏💕
