the house was peaceful for a minute this afternoon. 
peaceful minutes are hard to come by in these new days as a mother of three littles. 
during my minute:
gavin was deep nap sleeping
pandora was singing straight to my heart 
-belated promise ring (iron + wine)
-and then you (greg laswell)
-nobody knows me at all (the weepies)
-all the way (glen hansard)
a dear friend was baby laboring at home just down the street
the perfect little ray of sunshine was peeking through our skylight
the mailman dropped a big box from canada on my doorstep
   
i snapped a picture of “wild charlie” lying in the sliver of sunlight. 
turned up the pretty tunes and carefully opened my happy mail. 
i can easily count on one hand a small handful of people that i have met and instantly felt a tug at my heart strings. 
joanna is one of them.
