While having send the 12-year-old to Holland for football today, and the 14-year leaving for out-of-country football tomorrow as well, gratitude today has been related to the opportunity of hanging out and hanging around with the eldest. Just inhaling her presence. Like in this café where she was constantly playing with her straw, and it suddenly just seemed charming.
But wait a minute. That said, I suddenly realize that right at this very moment gratitude does indeed reappear.
The fact that the kids are "only" 12 and 14 - well soon to be 15... hopefully means that they will stay in this "nest" for a few more years. Even though their "flights" are getting increasingly longer and more frequent.
The first 12 and 14 years actually passed by pretty fast. And I do genuinely enjoy having them around!!
Finding gratitude was pretty evident today.
