the music of the night...

Sunday night at home. Kids are finally asleep and I am listening to music with my hubby. Tired, but not ready to sleep. Funny how Sunday is supposed to be the day of rest. I find myself running out of breath all day. Running from closet to closet, piano to piano, and kid to kid all day. Sunday nights leave me exhausted and swimming in my thoughts. What I did, what I didn't, what I should have, what I forgot, what I need to do tomorrow. . . sometimes my thoughts leave me feeling discouraged, but tonight, no. Maybe it's the music that my husband plays. He plays the songs that I love. Right now, it's "My Kindness Shall Not Depart from Thee" sung by Dallyn Vail Bayles. If you ever need a little lift, listen to this beautiful song. It always helps me catch my breath. I love that my hubby is the kind of man to choose these beautiful songs. We are both lovers of music. And he picks the songs that speak to my heart. Some nights, it's "I Love This Bar" or "Wannabe." But tonight, he picks the ones that lift me up. And I know he feels it too. So, with tomorrow coming in mere hours, I am not so worried about the dishes in the sink, or the pile of laundry, but instead I'm feeling blessed that it's quiet except for this music. I have my husband here with me. And that, though we don't always see eye to eye, he, for the most part, gets me. I am many things. But right now, I feel a little more me than I have lately.
