blessed

i woke up at 3:55 this morning. ugh. only 5 hours of sleep. so ugh. but mohammad was in the park, and the sun was shining and the internet connection was actually good. we spent a happy hour together. rejoicing in trees and the green grass, elated about the light through that particular tree, and berries and euphoric about the ducks and roosters and tiny birds. it was sweet. a toddler toddled up to him staring with big eyes and plumpy cheeks...and rosebud lips, if i'm honest. and i must be. peaceful, calm, nourishing hour in the park with my sweetheart. i think there will be many many many more park days in our future.

then he had to go and tiredness washed over me and i fell asleep for 3 more hours. kind of perfect.

grateful for moments like this.
