Gifts have been exchanged. Meals have been shared. Everyone, friends and family members alike have had a chance to meet the baby. It's amazing how calming a baby can be to the rest of us. It seems as though all of life stops when there is a newborn in the room ... and yes, we even have a few pictures to prove that all of this has taken place.
By comparison to all the visiting, today is a quiet day. This too will be a chance to visit, but at a much more intimate level, in a quiet manner, and time to relax and be rejuvenated. These quiet moments are also precious, for they allow us to catch our breath and to appreciate the value of family and friends.
Take time today to give thanks - to someone, for something - and to enjoy some time for peace.
