“Being a mom isn’t for sissy’s.” I laughed out loud when my mom said that to me over the weekend. How true it is! AMEN + AMEN! My Mom has this incredible way of finding joy in EVERY moment. The good the bad the hard + the happy. Her ability to stay positive is a trait that I’ve always admired. I told Jon this story last night after the boys were in bed + he so kindly told me that I do the same thing?! I cried. It was not the answer I had expected. A truly humbling moment for me to step back to + stop being so hard on myself. I’ve always been big on writing down the things I’m grateful for + trying to train my mind to recognize the positive throughout the day. I can see that when I am constantly recognizing the things that I have to be grateful for, the hard moments seem to get a little easier. Pat on the back for list making + positive living. I write a new word on my calendar each week to really focus on. My word last week was SMILE. So here you go, a quick list of moments or things I smile about.
- Jonathan Michael Parrish. Duh!
- RICE! My skinnydippin’ phone is like new today after it’s tub dive on Thursday.
