"Before Enlightenment you chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment you chop wood and carry water." -Buddist Proverb

In the long run... and even short term- it's the little things that count. I hear the kid's laughter and even though they ignored the order to take a nap an hour ago I can't yell at them because their laughter is so beautiful to my ears. Tomorrow I'll have to continue yelling and nagging. Tomorrow I continue being Mom but for now...
Just listening is enough.
