Sometimes you need to hide someplace and read a good book.
Sometimes you need to sit in the car in the grocery store parking lot at 10:30 at night and listen to the end of the symphony. (This and this really spoke to me last week. That first link—listen to at least 7:11, and then see if you can stop.)
Sometimes the kitchen floor needs to turn into an art studio.
Sometimes you need to go ahead with the read-aloud, even though it’s way too far past bedtime.
Sometimes you need to allow new additions to the already-long-and-complicated good-night kiss routine.
We are well into our new schedule, and it is exciting and a little scary and definitely exhausting. And good. Not perfect, not necessarily smooth, and not without a need for attitude adjustments (mine, too.) But good. I’m thankful for so many moments of grace. And now I’m looking back at this list and thinking, maybe not sometimes—maybe as often as possible.
