My Wonderful Life

It’s days like today that make me realize how lucky I am. Nothing particularly special happened today, it was not particularly different from other Tuesdays, and nothing particularly amazing occurred. In fact, Caidoc was pretty ornery this morning which led to a triple mocha from Bigfoot Java (which then fueled my annoyance, only with myself this time, for spending unnecessary money and consuming unnecessary calories). After an hour or so at Caidoc’s favorite park, “Train Park” we call it, in 75 degree weather, I felt ashamed for my foul mood. We went home and I became productive, it always makes a day go better when you accomplish something doesn’t it? All-in-all, I was irritated and whiney in the morning, but I worked out, cleaned, cooked, and watched my baby sleep in the afternoon and my day magically became wonderful. Those things may seem mundane but it’s those little things that made me realize/remember several things:

1. I am so lucky that it takes little things like holding my baby’s hand while he sleeps to turn a day around.

2. I love, and I mean LOVE being a mother, even on the worst of days (which today was really not) there is no where else I’d rather be, and nothing else I’d rather be doing.

3. So many people don’t get to experience joy and fulfillment and love that I get to daily and I should really thank God that I do.

4. I have the most intelligent and sweet little boy in the whole world.

5. My husband couldn’t be any more amazing than he is.

6. I really truly do, have a wonderful life.

  1. Great post! There is nothing better than gratitude. I recently heard a psychologist say something about how those people who have a grateful outlook on life are generally happier and healthier!

    When I’m having a rough day/week/month, I try and bring gratitude back. This is one reason I love blogging is that it gives me a place to record my blessings, and I will go back and look at my posts and realize how blessed I am with my husband, children, and life 🙂

    P.S.
    I hope it’s ok but I added your blog to my blog list….?? If not just let me know!
