Little Moments of Bliss

So today was just one of those days where I got this sudden urge to embrace my little side. I was playing with my kids in the park, you know how it goes, swings, slides, and more slides! But then something shifted inside me as we headed home. There’s this old teddy bear in the attic that’s been there for years since childhood stuff. And I don’t even remember why I hadn't brought it down to our little one's room before. Maybe because every time I touch it, I feel like going back in time, not literally of course!, but just feeling like a little girl again with all those magical moments from my youth. It was just so overwhelming and wonderful that I decided to let myself indulge for the evening. After tucking them both into bed safely, I put on one of their tiny pajamas and watched some classic cartoons, hugging that old teddy tight. It’s hard explaining how liberating it felt to just be in that headspace, completely losing track of time until late into the night when reality slowly crept back in with my duties as a caregiver. But oh boy, those little moments made for such big joy and peace.
