Then I hear that little voice. Not the one inside my head, that one is whining so I shut it out. The little voice that follows me around all day. Talking. Non. Stop. I always hear it. But today I listened to it. "Mommy, we need to light a candle tonight. That will make everything beautiful."
And it did.
It's amazing how one small person and one small act can make such a big difference in mood.

Oh Cindy, can you send Zach around here with a candle. We could really do with one. I hope it brings you some lovely peace and direction for your energy. These years, when our people are little and so honest and our world so small are beautiful - such a shame we eventually have to venture out into the noisy bigger world!
Candles do wonders to lift the spirits. We have watched that happen here on many a grumpy evening. :) I hope you get your mojo back soon, Cindy!
My goodness, how I understand this. Our rhythm is all off right now. Time change, spring schedules changing, naptimes changing. I need to find this *one* thing that will help us in our routine too.
so sweet. interesting how one simple thing, from the mind of such a little one can answer so many questions. their minds aren't as cluttered and busy as ours are!
That is so beautiful...words and pictures. love, Beth
Lily - the post master might frown upon me shipping Zach, but a candle can be arranged :)
Joy - I love seeing the candles your little ones make!
House Mother - yes they so say "stay present" don't they? Great point. Thank you!
SimpleMama- yes time change I think is a big part of it too.
Lisa - or just busy is such a different way.
Beth - thank you so much for your kind words!
