One of the movies we watched this week (I can't remember which), had a scene where the characters talk about the best day of their lives. I actually paused the movie to talk about this with my husband. In my almost 40 years on this Earth, one day immediately popped into my head: the day before our kiddo was born. On that day, DC was blessed with absolutely stunning weather. There was no rain, it was sunny, and cool with a light breeze. In the morning, I completed a few productive errands and tasks. Then, I met my bestie for lunch and a calming sound bath meditation. On the way home, I stopped to pick up a slice of our favorite pie. My water then broke at home while I was conveniently in the bathroom. That was a shock, but I had no pain or stress because the sound bath put me in a mindful state. Plus, there was the hilarious moment the Husband thought I was joking because he was elbow-deep in prepping a lasagna to freeze for after the kiddo arrived. We took our time getting to the hospital because my contractions did not bother me in the least. To help with labor, the husband and I ended up walking the halls and talking for hours. I ended the night in our room watching bad TV as I breathed through my growing contractions. This felt like a great day as it happened. But, I think the momentous change that was about to happen makes all the details stick more clearly in my mind. I have a clarity for the moment and my emotions that does not exist for other events in my life. What was your best day?
