I have a hard time prying myself out of a warm bed, especially when it's 10 degrees (which is actually warmer than it's been for days), but even when it's summer I love to sleep, just a few more minutes.
The magical thing though, is that I relish the quiet, the peacefulness of the sleeping house. Not even the dogs are up yet.
Happiness is the harvest of a quiet eye.

I wonder at the sense of possibility......what will this day bring?
Well, two sweet babies most likely. It's been 3 whole months since I've attended a birth and I am more than a little excited to be helping baby twins make their entrance in this new year. They will join kind, patient parents and a toddler sibling, a most cozy and loving little family. This mother is hoping for a peaceful, calm experience and given her strength in birthing her firstborn, I think chances are more than good for a lovely birth. Twins can sometimes be complicated, but I have a good feeling that this birth is going to go smoothly.

So, I'm going to sip my tea, eat my bowl of oatmeal porridge and wait for my call. Sometimes birth is all about patience.
May you enjoy the quiet this winter morning. May you harvest some happiness there.
