Five Minute Friday: Color

COLOR

I am wonderfully calmed and focused by color.  
Painting 
or 
drawing
 or 
photographing 
or 
sewing
 or
 planting-
 COLOR.
The hues and shades from dull and dreary to bright and bubbly, 
colors blend and grow into an expression of myself.  
Unlike words
-limited by intelligence and education-
color allows for sharing with everyone
a vibrant expression of me.

Five Minute Friday (er Saturday): Tired

TIRED

Being a Mommy seems to make one perpetually tired.  If it isn't a late night or an early morning, it is a long walk with a heavy toddler or a fussy baby.  

I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I do however, enjoy my coffee even more now that ever before.  Sleep, when it comes, is precious and deep.  Naps, the bane of my childhood existence, have become a long awaited excuse to cuddle with my babies.  

Sleep deprivation, and its resulting frustrations and irritations, is minor in relation to the joy of parenting.   

As I write, my tired babies snooze and I attempt to refocus and prepare for our evening together.  
Maybe tomorrow, I will nap with them, maybe tomorrow.
