Box of cheerios on the floor,
Forgot stuff at the store,
House lacking the right paint color,
No real vision of a dinner plan.
It is my life, I am feeling overwhelmed and uninspired until I think about what real blessings I have today in......
The friend that trusted me to watch her children.
The neighbor that told me they were glad we lived here.
The friend who embraced my unannounced visit with snacks
The brother who calls to see how my kids are doing
The two year old that gives kisses and love
The friend who loves my kids like their own
The parents who let my kids eat all the cherries from the jar they want
The friend who invites us to watch movies and feeds us candy
The five year old that smiles with out a front tooth.
The husband that loves me and listens to my needs
The friend that told me I was capable of painting my own murals for the living room
The in laws that tell me they love me like their own daughter
The brother in law that tells me I am great and visits my kids
The teacher who thinks Heath is smart and capable and great
The sister in laws that check on us in Texas, and teach us about parenting
The friend that posts pics of me from HS on facebook, to remind me of my glory and skinny days
The nieces and nephews that share a love of family and snow play with my kids
The best friend from HS who was my great competition, greatest cheerleader and still my friend
The life that is always only mine!!!!
It is full and rich and real, (and still needs a dinner plan)
