Do this for at least 15 minutes, preferably with no other distractions around you. Don't think about anything else, especially not lists.
It is bliss, I tell you, pure bliss.

one Cheerio at a time
If you're looking to slow down your life, get a 10-month old baby, sit on a couch, and feed her one Cheerio at a time.
Do this for at least 15 minutes, preferably with no other distractions around you. Don't think about anything else, especially not lists.
It is bliss, I tell you, pure bliss.

And where might I get a 10-month old baby? Delightful picture! The girls are continually changing, growing older and more beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOK - if a Grandma has never before posted a comment on a blog this is perfect allure! Like Halloween candy to a child.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo.
Great recipe for bliss.
Bless you for laying aside your lists.
Linda: contact Bethany - I'm sure she'd be happy for another babysitter!
ReplyDeleteMom: the lists were laid aside until 4:00am. Pretty good, eh?
do you have a 10-month old baby to loan?!!! this image is precious...and i cannot tell you how much i love your thoughts on slowing down. sometimes it takes something like cheerios to help us see the way.
ReplyDeleteMichelle - good to hear from you! No - but my sister does. I was babysitting the other night. And maybe it's more precious because I'm out of that stage with my own kids. When you're feeding cheerios one at a time all day every day it doesn't feel so special sometimes...
ReplyDeleteThree very sweet girls! Great reminder to slow down.
ReplyDeleteI Love these girls! Great post, Rebecca.
ReplyDeleteAlso, on dancing in the morning: my little guy has taken to demanding that we dance before anyone does much of anything. He insistently says, "Dance Mommy Dance!" And what can I do, but obey? I'm cuttin it up to Raffi and (gasp) Walter Ostenak and I'm always surprised at how good I feel afterward - must learn to take more cues from him. But I do wish he'd take some cues from me on music taste!
