Is it strange that i’ve been enjoying the simple life recently? I go back and forth between feeling restless and needing to be as productive as possible to feeling quite the opposite. This morning, I nursed Brody in my bed and read my Kindle while drinking a warm mug of coffee as everyone else in the house slept. Knowing that in the next hour, the house would get exponentially louder and I would hear tiny little footsteps climbing up the steps to my room, I started to recognize the moment for what it wasn’t. There was no rush to shower, get dressed, make breakfast or commute anywhere. There were no plans and no over-scheduling. Mornings have been pretty great recently. I stopped reading for long enough to look down at my baby and truly savor the moment. It won’t last forever and one day soon he’ll need more than just simply being in my arms. In that moment, life felt really good despite everything.

Also, life tip – I’ve been programming coffee the night before for 5:30am the next day so it’s ready and I can reach for it even while in a catatonic state. Maybe that’s why my mornings have been better? It doesn’t matter, i’ll take it. Without further ado, here are this Sunday’s links from around the web.
