I did a lot of things today, I could list them out, but mostly what I enjoyed was feeling a bit closer to my daughter. At one point today we were all cuddled up together playing a word game on the couch. She claimed to be bored, we played, getting closer and closer. She's not too huggy these days. She's a bit distant. But for a moment today, it felt like she was my little cuddle bug snuggled up next to me. I didn't dare say a word, instead, I just leaned into her a bit. She didn't seem to mind.
11:52, still time to spare.
So, here is a moment of thank you. A thank you to all who participate in this challenge. Even if you only started, if you made it half-way, if you made it 30 days and not 31 because of some pestering obligation. It all matters. Every story you wrote, every word you thought, every moment you shared. It mattered and is taking up a bit of space in the universe now. You can feel pretty proud of that.
11:54--I don't think I'll push it any longer. Time to hit publish.
Goodnight.
So good that you squeezed it in. I have enjoyed reading your posts, thank you too!
ReplyDeleteI love that you note the time as your slice unfolds. And I especially love the moment with your daughter.
ReplyDeleteI was mostly a late night blogger as well. I ALMOST let one day go by without blogging because it was so late, but I husband was the one who encouraged me to do it. It's such a sense of accomplishment and relief to participate and meet this challenge. How wonderful that you feel closer to your daughter!
