I woke up this morning very tired.
I spent a good portion of last night lying in my bed awake and listening to the sounds of my family sleeping.
I have never slept far from my children. In every house we've lived in, I have been able to hear their breathing and rustling from my bed. It hasn't been intentional, but simply the nature of the places we've called home.
And last night as I was lying there with my eyes wide open thinking about everything that is going wrong and unfair outside of my four walls I was so thankful for the sounds of their sleeping. For the deep sighs and coughs. To have everyone in my family so close.
Today I am thankful for that.
