Going to basics was good, and I managed to bulldoze through leftovers from previous to-do AND ta-da lists and complete about 90%. So a fairly good productive day.
DS got sick last night, and must be mother's instinct to make me get up and just touch him - he was burning up - 39.4 temperature at 2:30 am. Poor sweetheart. Nothing like a child's illness to bring us down to earth, to what truly matters.
Woke him up to give him medicine, sponged him down, and lay down next to him till the fever came down at about 4:30 am. As I was watching him sleep, I could see parts of me and parts of DH in his face. Sometimes the enormity of the blessings I've been bestowed with hits me with renewed force and I'm humbled in my gratitude. Alhamdulillah.
Meanwhile, the next morning, here we are back into the "groove":. Same routine, same drive, same parking space, start of another day. Is it a choice, or a habit? What will I make a priority today? The important thing is that whatever it is that I choose to make a priority, that the choice be conscious, and driven by me, and not circumstances alone.
Choose.
