Today has been one of the most wonderful days! I don't know if it was the "almost" uninterrupted night's sleep, perfect weather or the much needed morning break I had to enjoy myself without any little voices crying for mommy. All day long I couldn't help but see the wonderful things God has blessed us with!
I started the day off taking pictures for the annual golf tournament our church holds. I had so much fun driving the golf cart around with one of my most ancient of friends! (I don't mean your age, Nicki!)
Then, grocery shopping alone ( try to contain yourself...it gets better) and coming home to work in the yard with my family. Simple pleasures? Maybe to you, but this day was perfect in every way... (except maybe for the moment Luke and Parker bit Reese because they said she was a monster and they were pirates.)
Just swinging the kids, weeding out my box garden (no mom, I still haven't planted anything) watching Ricky work. All these things were swirling around in my head... I am very happy in my little house, I am super grateful for our 3 healthy kids, I am glad that we aren't drowning in debt and I am so blessed to have a wonderful relationship with my hubby! I saw a couple at the grocery store screaming and yelling at each other and it made me want to run home and hug Ricky and tell him how much I love him!
Sometimes we get so caught up in our routine, or in my case sheer survival mode, day to day that we don't realize how wonderful our life is... or how much worse it could be!
Take the time to think about how blessed you are! It will change your whole day!
