It's easy to forget how blessed you are in the hum drum of day-to-day activities.
Today, while doing household chores, I've been constantly reminded. Maya and Haim are on a nature field trip in the everglades for the day, and I've had a quiet day of kitchen cleaning, laundry, bread making, and resting. Yes, I did have to clean the kitchen, but i'm very lucky to have a beautiful kitchen to clean after it has been "torn apart" while preparing delicious and healthy food for my family.
I've done a load of laundry, but with the luxury of a washer and dryer in my garage...and the laundry that I have done is all of the beautiful baby clothing that I used with Maya and will soon be reusing for the baby that will bless us in a very short time after (g-d willing) an easy labor. How lucky to have had the ability to buy such lovely things the first time around, and to have the opportunity to use them again!
It is so nice to experience the peace and silence of the house, and to know that it will soon again be filled with the noise and chaos of those I love.
