Another slice of heaven

The rain had just stopped. The air smelt fresh and clean as I carried her to the park and set her free. She ran to the nearest puddle and jumped and splashed about in joy. I made a new friend, a fellow mom of a toddler daughter who also brought along their two sweet obedient cats. In between playing on the seesaws together, the two little girls followed the cats around. Puddles and kitty cats and the freedom and space to run around and scream to their hearts' content. The moms looked at each other. No words necessary. Because no words could really describe how happy, how content, how wonderful it is to see your child so happy, so carefree, so young.

Just when I thought i was out..........

.....they pulled me back in.....

I'm enjoying working on a half day basis but my contract is only until the end of May and it seemed that afterwards I would be a full time stay at home mum doing odd freelance jobs.

But now I've received an offer to return to legal practice and be my own boss. And the thought of being able to dictate my own terms, have flexible working hours and hopefully make some money is intoxicating....

But a part of me also feels like it would be selling my soul again.
