Most every morning I wake up quite early, in the dark, feeling something like despair.

Seeking Tender Moments
I find that I really like and appreciate and will prioritize tender moments. Example? As I write this piece I’m lying in bed while my son sleeps next to me. He came in a few hours ago, upset by a dream. I listen to him sleep, and I feel really, really lucky. Blessed to have …
