Vid: The Gift of an Ordinary Day - A Mother's Memoir

Hi,

I thought I might share this beautiful video of best selling author, Katrina Kenison, reading to a group from her latest book “The Gift of an Ordinary Day”.

It is a very touching memoir of a mother’s “longing and fulfillment, taking stock of failures and achievements, her search for the elusive ‘something more’ of one’s existence—and a reminder that life’s seemingly mundane moments are often where we find beauty, grace and transformation.”

It is a reminder of how we should make every opportunity with our kids count no matter how challenging it may be. It is important to treasure not just the special moments but even the ordinary ones that can make a difference in our lives. Let us all continue to be the best parents we can be to our children.

I cried. I so want to run in and cuddle my napping son…

Oh dear that did make me tear up too! Thanks so much for sharing. It seals my decision to give up my career and stay home with my little man.

:unsure: They grow up so fast.
