I have started a new post about three times in the last couple of weeks, but then within minutes, my interest has dwindled, and I have questioned relevance of my topic du jour. However, when I check the stats on this blog, it doesn't appear anyone is reading, so, hey, I am just going to share what is on my mind. :) I want to be intentional about how I am living my life, so here are my thoughts for today...
Yesterday, I was reminded how much I love being a stay-at-home mom...even changing diapers allows for bonding time with my sweet 18-month-old, and I am truly grateful. I love being able to pick up my 11-year-old and 13-year-old from school and ask them "How was your day?". It's a blessing, and one I take for granted all too often. I am going to make more of an effort to find the blessings in my ordinary days.
Today, I am overwhelmed by my "TO DO" list for work...I have prayed about it though, and asked the Lord to help me stay focused and productive today. I am going to be thankful if I can check one small thing off my list, and see that as progress instead of failure. I am going to make some time for myself...maybe read a few chapters in a book...something I want to do...not out of selfishness, but out of self-preservation so I can be a better mom/wife.
Tomorrow will be a busy day with work and kids' activities, but I am going to look forward to the making of memories in my childrens' lives. I am going to celebrate their personalities and the gifts they are in my life. I am not going to let the busy schedule frustrate me...I am going to be thankful my children are healthy and able to participate in so many activities.
What are you going to do today?
