i breathed in, i breathed out

I had a moment...and it's moments like these I need to remember.

I was content. I looked around at my life, and I smiled in my soul. I breathed in, I breathed out, I felt okay.

For that one moment, I allowed myself to accept me. There were no menacing thoughts, instead I embraced what God had blessed me with.

My children. My babies. My home. My body. my body.... My marriage. My friends. My family.

I let go of the shoulds, the should not's. I breathed in, I breathed out. I was okay.

I was not trying. I was not working for. I was not anything, but in that moment.

I breathed in, I breathed out.

In that moment...

I was alive. I was free. I was exactly where I wanted to be.

It's moments like these, that if I don't grab them and taste them and feel them and know them....they could simply pass away.

I must hold on to it. I must remember...

To breathe. In and out.

To accept. To forgive. To not try. To not work. To just be.

To breathe. In and out.

For just a moment.
