Sunday, after cooking and serving up beignets at church (for a fundraiser), the four of us settled in and took some time to... rest. Knowing that there was no place we needed to run off to and that the house was clean (enough), I allowed myself to just be. Mindless TV, cool air, my legs resting over top his, and the sunshine glinting in through the window... brought contentment. It wasn't where I thought I would be... wasting away a beautiful Sunday afternoon... but perhaps, it was where I needed to be. And, time with them... is never wasted.
Celebrating the gift of contentment on a Tuesday... and the hope of a beach day in the near future.

Oh, Dawn, this post is a great example of why I love coming here. For a beautifully written, wonderful little slice of Dawn, of real life and real love. Thank you!
We usually end up where He wants us to be. Your upcoming, well deserved day at the beach will be glorious. I miss the ocean so much!
I agree with Richella. This is such a sweet, beautiful place to visit. Your love for your family just shines.
Contentment. Sigh. I love it.

Love it. . ."Time with them is never wasted." So true and we have to remind ourselves of it often. We will never regret those days.
Sounds like a wonderful day! And I hope you get your beach time soon!!
That sounds just as good if not better than getting all sandy :)
Sometimes those day of allowing yourself to just BE are the best and most needed days! Time with family is never wasted. Sounds like you had a wonderful day to me! :)
Couldn't agree more!!!
Wow--beautiful Iris near the beach?? A pure slice of heaven!
Glad you got to spend time with them, no matter where you were!
Sounds like heaven on earth...
