This morning I have a little more time than usual before we need to get out the door, so I thought I would stop by and say hello!
I’m tempted to say, “life has been crazy, lately,” but it hasn’t.
It has been FULL. Is it full of craziness, sometimes?! Yes, but it’s FULL.
I’m tempted to complain that I haven’t had enough time to get everything done, but I have.
I have had the time to take care of sick kiddos, time to rest when I do not feel well myself, time to volunteer in the little guys classroom, time to go on baby girl’s first field trip, time to spend with my mother-in-law, time to visit pumpkin patches, time to be creative, and time to enjoy the beautiful weather we have had here in the pacific northwest.
I’m tempted to talk about all the things my kids aren’t doing, but I won’t.
They are incredible little beings who are inquisitive, strong willed, loving, fun, and happy. They love to create, climb, imagine, run, ride bikes, and learn. And, they love being with me. I can’t beat that, can I?
I’m tempted to vent about the disagreements that Ryan and I have, but that would be silly.
I have an loving husband who does an amazing job providing for our family. He works hard, spends time away from our family each week, deals with my creative craziness, makes our children laugh, and makes sacrifices (like not going hunting) to make sure he spends enough time with our little family.
I grew up being taught that what you focus on expands.
I have found myself focusing on the don’t/can’t parts of my life a bit lately and I want going to change that.
This morning, I’m focusing on the positive with a can do attitude.
Today, I will make enough time to do what needs to get done.
home is…refocusing.
This is incredibly true, and one of my favorite blogs you’ve written. You are right, it is easy to say that life has been crazy or some such thing, but truthfully it is just full (at least ours is). I also think it’s important to focus on the “fullness” and the positive instead of the “craziness” and the negative.
