Savoring the Little Things


I am learning to really appreciate the little things in life, sometimes that's all you've got to hold onto! The way that Faith sings along to "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" when I rock her every night. Getting some awesome fresh produce from the farmer's market. A good laugh with my husband. A caring hug from my mom. Even just fun times spent with friends. I'm learning to really appreciate that these are the things that life are about. Even if it's hard to see it sometimes, that's what make regular days into good ones.


I won't lie.....this week had some rough moments as we continue to try and perservere over a tough situation. I had some definite mommy meltdown moments and questioned my abilities as a writer and a human this week. For the rough spots though there were some great ones. So I'm trying to take a little bit from every experience and learn from it. That's what it's all about and that is what I owe to Faith to be a good mom and role model. She gives me not only joy and inspiration as I try to take joy from the tiniest things in life.....like bubbles or a song!


Faith and I are signed up for "school" this fall, we'll be taking a class together and I can't wait! We have some great things to look forward to and I'm strangely content though the one thing that we of course need is for a good job to come my hubby's way. For some reason, I feel strangely optimistic right now. Not based on anything at all but hope, I feel like something big is about to pop to the surface for us. I sure hope I'm right as that would make life feel really great right now!! But for the time being, I will do my best to savor the little things and work like hell to make deadlines for all of the work I've taken on. Hey, that's something to be grateful for too right now!
