A few weeks ago, my sweet little boy grabbed my hand while we were walking and as I looked down at him, I felt a physical warmth rush over my body, beginning with a jolt up my arm. It was indescribable and has stuck with me ever since. I've been thinking a lot about connection since that day, paying close attention to the way I feel each time I connect with my children.
I feel it when I greet them with hugs first thing in the morning.
When I take time to stare with wonder at all that they are.
In the moments when I get down to their level and look them in the eye when they speak to me.
As I hold their chubby toddler hands just a little longer.
When I caress their faces before kissing them goodnight in the soft glow of their bedroom.
A feeling of true connection and gratitude for the blessing it is to be their mamma.
In a world where we are instantly connected to almost everything, let's remember to take the time to connect often with those we love most.
