It is so easy to get caught up in the negative, life is hard, times are hard and some days it just feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. It's not always the big things that bring us down, it is often the little things. Isn't it ironic that it's also the little things that bring us back up; where we find gratitude, thankfulness and blessings.
My something good-- this morning I woke up at my usual time to get the day started for my 4 little loves only to find them all awake, dressed and making each other's breakfast and lunches. My heart literally melted. They saw me and said "Mommy, this was a surprise, can you please go back in bed!" I smiled and went back to my bed. Not long after they each came in and snuggled with me thanking me for doing these things for them every day. I could have cried y'all, like ugly cried!! At that moment I knew I had it all, no matter what was happening outside this moment, I had it all! After dropping off all the kids at school, I came into my office to work and found a salad with a fork and my tumbler full of water; Ellie wanted to make sure I had everything I needed for a successful day..... cue the tears!! They are blessings, these are blessings, and I am so lucky to have them all.
