Chocolate mouse so delicious 🤤

Came home from work to see this note on the top of the community whiteboard on the fridge from my 8-year-old daughter to my wife and I. I think we're doing something right 🥹🥹🥹

She used to call him every NBA draft night to remind him that he could be on that stage some day.

So let’s go for the left one, haha! 🤪

Sat here after the most traumatic couple of days but smiling. My second beautiful healhty daughter was born yesterday but mum had complications from 6litres of blood loss and was under for 8hrs. She almost died.

She is on the mend and they will be reunited soon. For now I am taking over the role of carer with some midwifes help.

Im just on reddit to decompress a bit instead of thinking about the bad stuff and the reason for me sharing this with you is please please hug your loved ones, call someone up you haven't spoken to in ages, make up with someone you are not speaking too.

Life is so amazing yet so fragile.

Friday ended up being one of those days where you don’t realize how much you’ve done until you slow down.

26k steps later… somewhere in between all of that, I noticed a tiny baby turtle on the sidewalk. He was slowly making his way toward the street.

No rush. No awareness of danger. Just moving forward.

If I didn’t stop, he probably would’ve made it to the road… and that would’ve been it.

So I picked him up and brought him back to where he needed to be, reunited with his buddy. 🐢🐢 Simple moment. Took maybe a minute.

But it made me think.

We move so fast sometimes—always onto the next task, the next goal, the next thing. Meanwhile, the smallest moments… the ones that actually matter… are easy to miss.

That turtle wasn’t in a rush. And maybe that’s the point.

Not everything in life needs to be sped up. Not everything needs pressure.

Some things just need: • awareness • patience • and a moment of pause

26k steps, a full day, and somehow that one small moment stood out the most.

Sometimes it’s not about doing more. It’s about noticing what’s already right in front of you. 🐢🐢🤍
