I just went running on this beautiful morning. I guess that showing up is working because I was able to run for longer without feeling like I was exhausted or pushing myself the entire time! I think that it might be fun to maybe plan on running a mini/print triathlon with Quinn?
Quinn and I are trying to make more intentional time together. Last night was nice. We got the kiddos to bed and were able to watch an episode of something together. Elijah and Xai are in the upstairs bunk room where Hyrum was previously. Big girl Liesl is upstairs in the magic fairy room with Maia. That puts the older two girls downstairs in Lily’s old room. It all feels nice.
Hyrum is up and running with his online MTC. He felt that the Spirit prompted him to basically just spend time doing missionary work and I respect that. He is ready. I can see him growing already.
I love having Penelope next to my bed. I love having her grab my arm and pull it over her. I love having her snuggle her head into mine and then be okay when she moves over to enjoy her own space in her own bed.
Quote from a book I am reading:
“She imagined, now, what it would be like to accept herself completely. Every mistake she had ever made. Every mark on her body. Every dream she hadn’t reached or pain she had felt. Every lust or longing she had suppressed. She imagined accepting it all. The way she accepted nature. The way she accepted a glacier or a puffin or the breach of a whale. She imagined seeing herself as just another brilliant freak of nature. Just another sentient animal, trying their best. And in doing so, she imagined what it was like to be free.”
