Sophia is sleeping next to me in bed. Her small body so peaceful and angelic. From the moment she was born she had the whitest skin that seemed like it was carved from pure alabaster, so smooth and flawless. Her body twitches as she falls deeper into slumber, muscles slowly relaxing after a hard day of play. Isn't that what summer is all about? Sleeping late, camp, swimming, new friends, skin turning berry brown.
When life seems to be unfolding layers and layers of unknown promises and I feel thrown in to the mix without a life preserver, it is moments like these that I cling to. The quiet times with my daughters and I and the dog at the end of the bed. They are my heart...dog included.
I look forward to sleep tonight. My head and heart feel exhausted. Trying to sort out the meanings to this secret mystery we call life. It certainly can't be figured out in a day, right! But at the close of each day I know I have given my all and that I will continue to do so again tomorrow. Sweet dreams.
