My life today

Dan walks in the door from work and settles in after discarding his coat, shoes and bag. We say hello and the girls approach him with varying comments, questions or jibberish, as the case may be. Soon he is on the floor with them, playing and laughing. I enjoy the sounds from the other side of the room- the sound that little girls make when they are crazy about their daddy. I notice the noise die down a bit and suddenly I can feel Dan staring at me. Out of the corner of my eye, I see- he's getting up and walking across the room over to me. He puts both of his hands on either side of my face, turns my head, gives me a kiss and says, "This is how I always dreamed my life would be."

As a wife, mother and homemaker, I am constantly striving to make the best life for my husband, kids and home. There is not much I do that isn't somehow related to how it effects their well-being. Throughout my days I wonder, is it enough, do they have what they need, can I do more, how can I make it better? It can be all-encompassing, but because it is out of love, it is not overwhelming. There is purpose. There is reward. There is fulfillment. There is complete joy.

My work is good.
