Unbelievable Blessing

The sound effects baby makes when eating something she likes are probably the most joyous sounds I’ve heard. Yesterday, she was enjoying something particularly and rolled her eyes to the upper right while smiling and chewing and reminded me of my little sister when we were kids. Tonight while I was out, she had more pasta than ever before, eating from a big shared bowl with her mom. Even just hearing about it was immensely satisfying. When my mind races sometimes on this or that topic of anxiety or woe, I remind myself that I have had enough food to feed my baby at every feeding since she was born. What an unbelievable blessing that is.
