happiness

i had a post all written in my head about how life is hard right now. all of our needs are abundantly met, but things are hard. we're tired. we get angry. we miscommunicate. we're overly sensitive. we're don't always choose love. 

then i came home. where steven had planned a bonfire night with hot dogs, smores, seasonal beer. and my heart is full.

after our bonfire night, it was bathtime. which has become one of my favorite times (of the week, on a good week) since j learned to hate it less and c is able to join in the fun.

life will be hard again tomorrow i'm sure, but tonight i am going to bed happy.
