Overflowing with gratitude

Today I am grateful for the precious moments of the weekend.  At this moment, I am grateful for the little one in my arms, cuddled up, and sharing my apple with me. We sit here, quietly looking out on gray skies, snuggled together.

I catch my thoughts drifting... wondering about how this day will work out, how I'm going to get A, B, and C done, thinking about others, and how my husband is feeling.

And then I feel a little hand on mine, and a soft request, "Momma... where's apple?" Kissing her head, breathing her in, I'm brought back to the present, as I watch my child take a hearty bite, chew, and swallow.
