Catching the breeze
Yesterday evening, after I’d put the kids to bed, I lay on our bed. Through the open window I could here the sound of voices drifting in, people living their lives somewhere outside. A first glimpse of summer on the breeze.
I treasure those few minutes after the bedtime when you know they are asleep. It’s the first time in the day that I don’t have any responsibilities that require immediate attention. A serene quiet settles on the house and I can relax, read a book, doze off for ten minutes or cuddle up with my darling wife. If I were looking for a definition of Domestic Bliss, this would be it.
