Feeling Pure Joy

I feel so refreshed and renewed as a writer after attending BlogHer for the past two days.  I adore getting back in touch with the writer in me and remembering the "Oh yeah, I do have things worth saying" feeling that got me blogging in the first place (and has had me writing since I was a teenager).

But nothing, not the most beautifully crafted sentence in the world, can compare to coming home to this smiling, precious face.

I'm so glad I had the luxury to come home at night between Day 1 and Day 2 because Day 2 was already hard enough and I had just seen Nate that morning and spent time with him the night before.

Writing always filled my heart - finding just the way I wanted to express something, the exact right place to break a poetic line, a title to end all titles.  And those things still make me incredibly happy.

But joy?  That face owns my joy.

It is amazing that the same faces that where us completely out, drive us to the brink of addictive tendencies, can be the ones that do bring us the most joy!
Good post!
