The Calm

Historically there is rarely time for calm in my house. Recently my two older boys have become more independent, and the third often follows their lead. Because of this, I’ve been able to get more calm moments within the day. Not much in the grand scheme of things or in comparison to others. But more than I have in the last few years.

I have had a hard time knowing what to do during these moments of calm. The silence can feel unsettling. The calm, less soothing and more like a tornado waiting to touch down. I need to work on being able to breathe into the calmness.
