Sometimes even if something amazing is not happening in our life, we need to step out and see how lucky we are for what we have...

This morning River and Relic woke up hungry before 5 AM and after I fed them, they didn't want to go back to bed. I let them play a little but I was too tired to stay up and play with them at that time so I thought to move them to their bouncer seats and bounce and sing lullaby for them as I always do to make them go to sleep. Michael had to get up and get ready for going to work when the boys were going to sleep. I really can't leave the boys in their bouncer seats even if they are tied by the straps because River can pull himself out easily ( he has already done it a few times ) so I decided to sleep on the futon to be close to the boys when they were sleeping. Michael came to say good-bye and covered me with the old blanket of my dear grandmother who passed away about 20 years ago.

I was lying down on the futon, covered with my favorite blanket and my babies were sleeping so close to me that I could hear them breathing. Michael was going to work, the job that he really loves and then I thought how lucky I am to have all those things. I was really tired and went to sleep soon but I am sure I was smiling the whole time that I was sleeping, feeling the luckiest woman in the world, just to have those simple but very important things in my life
