So here I am...

Laying in an almost pitch black room.  My 4 year old daughter is nestled up against me.  She's shooting her flashlight at the ceiling and making shapes with her hand, discovering shadows and the way the light bends.  It's a new world for her and everyday a new discovery.  As I am with her, I can't help but think of all the things I need to get done, all the things that are put on hold, and I catch myself doing it.  It's work sometimes to stop my thoughts from being where I am not.   She called me into this room to be with her.  I get to experience this moment.
