"Moments"

Moments that define us aren’t always the huge ones that you would expect them to be. Most often, they are in our daily exchange of words with someone, a glance or a moment that simply sticks. Sometimes it’s a feeling of shared understanding that two people come to discover without any sort of road map in hand.

This appreciation for the beauty in such moments is one that ebbs and flows for me depending on the day, depending on the childcare workload and the daily grind. Ironically, it has taken an enormous life changing moment and months and months to uncover this simple truth.

It’s not always easy to catch them at first, it takes practice and a little nudge sometimes. The trick is to have your eyes (and your heart) wide open to see them. And once you see, you see – and you’ll wonder how you missed them all along.
