The moment that this picture was taken made me smile. Both were regulated. Both were happy. All were calm.

The past few days have been tough as Alyssa continues to struggle with frequent and intense anxiety attacks. Today she only had one and it wasn’t that bad. She needed today. A day with little plans. A day with only one place to go in the car. A calm day.

So today when I caught this picture of the girls when we were out as a family, I smiled. I smiled big. I smiled because today…all was calm.
