Today is Five Minute Fridays There is no link up today just a prompt.
So I write for Five minute, no edits, no re dos and at the end I will see if there are pictures from my week Instagram feed that match the words of this week.
Topic: Nothing
Last night Mouse and I sat out on the front patio and did nothing. OK that is not quite true she worked on home work while I sipped ice tea and drew. But it was nothing amazing or life changing or in the world's view even memorable.
But it is in these 'nothing' moments that I see her and I hope she sees me. Not just the student / teacher, Mom / Daughter, child / adult. But as the person we truly are.
I hope she sees that even in the nothing moments of life I prefer her by my side experiencing it together.
The quiet chats between my sketching and her homework. When I ask her about a quote that she likes from me and she picks our favorite book from her toddler years. So I sketch some more and she tells me about her day.
I will remember these 'nothing' moments.

Oh I savor those nothing moments too! They are so life-giving to me! Thanks for sharing your heart! I'm here from FMF too!
ReplyDeleteThis is great. I've always said that you've got to have quantity of time to get to quality. As my sons became teenagers and beyond these moments of just being there lead to some very wonderful memories and moments. Lovely post. Visiting from www.mywordstudy.com. Glad I stopped by.
