Sometimes it takes something like what's going on in the world to make you realize what's truly important in your life. This morning while sitting outside in my new outdoor office, I had the best view. My view this morning was simply just my 3 boys playing outside together and enjoying themselves.
This sight made me realize that instead of focusing on what is going to come from all of the world, I need to focus on the now. Something I struggle so hard with. (As I'm sure many overwhelmed mamas do)
Today, I challenge ALL caregivers to write a list of why your thankful. It can be as intricate as cleaning your entire house or as simple as drinking a cup of coffee whiles it's still HOT! Trust me, for a busy mom, that right there is an accomplishment in and of itself.
Why am I thankful today?
- My 3 sons are outside playing together without fighting....for now.
- The weather called for rain and cold but it is in fact a beautiful sunny day.
- We are all healthy.
- I have the opportunity of writing my articles and publishing outside in the fresh air
- We are together!
- My HOT coffee that is actually going to not get reheated 16 times today.... I know someone else must know the struggle!
Sometimes we need to stop and smell the roses or in this case, the beautiful flowers that I have blooming in my backyard at the moment!
