Life: Slowed Down.

 
I want:
to not feel rushed
to not speed through the day
to take my time
to relish in the good moments
to not have a never-ending to-do list
to not feel a constant weight on my shoulders
to not feel like i'm constantly leaving something undone
to wake up slowly
to not live by a clock or a calendar
to play with my girls
to look my children in the eyes and truly hear them
to sit in the afternoon and have tea, cookies, and converstation
to be a mom who cares, who hears, who loves rather than a mom who cleans and rushes and complains
to enjoy my loved ones
to not feel like I'll never catch up
to give the people I love my time and attention
to not feel exhausted, overwhelmed
to hear my girls laugh and be right there laughing with them
to read books at bedtime, snuggled up in covers, not huff and agree to 'two pages, quickly'
to say yes
to play, laugh, sing, dance, read, enjoy, savor, love
to fill my moments, hours, days with the people who matter
to slow down.
