Reading Eckhart Tolle has inspired me to seek the joy in or at least accept the present moment rather than worrying about past or future or what I might be missing. I notice in myself a tendency to want to try to do everything to get my moneys worth, to see every animal or walk every trail, to wonder if I have chosen the best path. Today I tried not to worry about what was next but to let things unfold. It wasn't seamless; one boy might want to rush ahead while the other stayed at an exhibit. But it was pretty relaxing. It helped that I gave us the whole day for the zoo.
The roadside restaurant with great Grandpop gave us more chance to be patient. We had to wait for a table, got stuck behind a banquet, and were there for 2 hours. The boys were noisy, but so were other people.
They are sleeping. Liam discovered that our room has a sofabed and volunteered to sleep there, so we each have our own bed, which should help excited boys sleep longer.
