contentment


i got to work on the little boy hat yesterday since we visited so many cozy places where i could just sit and crochet. at the end of the day i was so tired, but i had to finish it. i can't believe i actually let the kids take such terrible pictures of me........ugghhhh how the years and pounds show on film in a way that the deceptive bathroom mirror seems content to hide from my eyes. but then after a few moments like this

and a good game of checkers


it is easy to forget about all that nonsense and find contentment in the things that ARE instead of the things that just aren't and never will be anymore.
