tending the sick

the days are getting longer again, o this is good news and we so long for the sun to send her rays to us. it was gray and cold the past few days and then this afternoon the blue sky and the warming sunshine, i had to quickly head out and soak it all up. while i was out big brother was watching the coughing little girl in our house.

thea is not feeling well so we have been brewing tea and reading stories to her.

i even got the chance to sit by her bed, knit and sip on my own tea last night. i even kind of enjoyed the moment of sitting, and watching her sleep. the coughing and waking up every now and then was definitely not welcomed by both of us, but she was calming down quickly, knowing i was right there.
such slow down moments might be just alright with us, they are needed and our bodies will say thank you to the slowing down with getting better soon. it is all a matter of perspective...
