Music That Lingers

Our summer weather has been, hmmm.... fickle. The hide and go seek nature of the sun lately has many of us (and many of my plants) confused as to  what month it is. And so, since it feels like November my family (me included) have all decided to come down with a winter cold...uh, or summer cold.

Since we all just don't feel like doing anything we have been listening to a lot of soothing music and I thought I would share some of the tunes that have been dancing along the rims of our ears or  lingered on our lips for the past few days. Enjoy, and I hope to return to my more normal fashion of posting once this headache quiets down.

Gasping For Air & Meet Tucker the Turtle

 Meet Tucker the Turtle, the breathing mask my son has had to wear the last several days as he's been battling pneumonia. Our home has been transformed into small infirmary, and I have taken on the role of nurse in addition to the main source of comfort to a very uncomfortable toddler.

  Our daily rhythm has slowed down quite immensely this past week. Although we have been driving back and forth to the hospital, our typical daily happenings have basically settled into a flurry of breathing treatments, rest, slow walks around the block, and more rest.

Our Easter plans with family have been put on hold as we find ourselves in a place of holding. Breathing slowly, surely, and knowing our breath and usual pace of life will return to us soon. The situation is frightening at times, but I have never had clearer and intentional interaction with my son and family. In a way, it is it's own kind of rebirth.


Here's to a peaceful and successful recovery. Wishing you and your family peace, health, and a few quiet moments this weekend. I will see you back in this space on Monday.


XOXO,
Julia
