A Simple Moment is a post that appears here every Friday.
A photo I want to remember of a simple moment, with a few simple words.

It’s been a few weeks since I have done a Simple moment. But this one is one of my favorites. It fills me with peace and love and all the joys of a proud mom.
My heart has been quiet this past week thinking about the tragic sadness at Sandy Hook. I’ve been hugging my kids tighter, trying to have more patience and trying to not let my mind drift too far into thinking that I too have a kindergartner, and, well…you know all those emotions. Also, my heart has held a mood of saddens this week thinking about the mom in our local, natural birth community who lost her life giving life last week. And the dad who went home without a mother to his newborn, in a time when we don’t think of that happen anymore.
So this Christmas we trying to be more still, enjoying the simple times around us, with less hustling and busting, doing, and buying and going. I’m thankful that we are all here together, kicking off the holidays today (on this very cold Winter Solstice day) with six days of family coming and going to our home – filling us with love and joy
Merry Christmas!
