Do you ever have the most ordinary evening but just feel so incredibly blessed and happy? That was me tonight. I just felt an overwhelming amount of peace and comfort. It was one of those nights where my heart just felt really full because of my sweet little family.

I am someone who feels really loved fairly easily. Being touched gently or told I’m appreciated goes a really long way. It’s funny because in college I would have said that gift giving was my top love language; now I think it’s the last. 1) Quality time 2) physical touch 3) words of affirmation 4) acts of service (surprised this one didn’t move up since having a baby, but it’s still very high even though it’s down here!) 5) gifts. I think that’s my current order. But honestly, I feel really loved with any of these, and I almost feel like I need them all — and try to give them all in whatever capacity I have.

But yeah — I’m really lucky and I am just going to bed with such a full heart. I hope everyone goes to sleep feeling like this most of the time. People deserve love and it’s such an easy thing to give at any stage in life.

I’ll write more tomorrow. Or whenever I have more energy. I am so happy; just also incredibly tired too.
