"...I lie on the ground, face down in the carpet, penitent with thankfulness for a life undeserved, for beauty and happiness unmerited, grateful for the stars and the starlings, for the grass and the leaves and the bound-up bales of love I've been given..." (N.D. Wilson, Notes from the Tilt-a-Whirl)

I miss time to read while nursing. Not that I did it much, as I was usually engaged with the boys. Sophia's pretty much weaned now, although sometimes I have her nurse for, oh, maybe 5 minutes at the end of the day because I want her to, more than she does, lol!
