my morning.

the hustle and bustle of getting four children ready for school and out the door on time. 

a husband off of work so that he can drive them into town. 

i pause. 

i grab a small individually wrapped piece of dove chocolate for my opener to breakfast. 

i’m an adult.  i made a choice.

the inside of the wrapper says, “enjoy this moment.”

oh, i will dove chocolate.  

i will.
