a cozy sunday

the kids are eating syrup laden pancakes and ryan and i are clutching dangerously strong cups of coffee.  i love sunday mornings more than anything.  it is calm in the murphy house for a brief moment and we are soaking one another in before the day grows into its usual glorious mess.  such is life.

i don't have much to share on this dreary morning.  we were all woken in the wee hours of the night to bright flashes of lightening coupled with monsterous claps of thunder so loud it felt as if the storm was right on top of us.  the drizzles remain and we are all cozying up to one another.

this feeling, this closeness....this is love.

i stumbled upon this quote this morning and though i would share it as both a reflection and a thought to carry with me through the week.

happy sunday to you all.  it's a great day to be alive.

"I beg you to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." 

- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters To A Young Poet
