I am coming to terms with life and how it happens to you. I now know that I will never reach a place where I feel satisified because there is always "one more thing" that still needs to be attempted. Achieved. Conquered.
Sometimes I forget to stop, sit back and realize all the blessings I have right in front of me: loving husband, two beautiful daughters, fabulous job, great family...the list goes on and on. The problem - for me at least - is that it is so easy to compare myself to other people and become discouraged. Enter my husband, Rob.
He always has a way of putting things into perspective and helping me to realize what I really have. This quote describes his outlook on life to a tee: “Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.”
Tonight I spent an hour playing Hide and Go Seek with Sam and Claire and it was the most enjoyable, innocent fun I've had in a long time. Although Claire kept giving me away when it was my turn to hide, the look on Sam's face every time she "found" me was indescribable. I never thought a child could shake so much out of pure excitement.
It's very easy to get caught up in material things and difficult to see passed what really matters. So, although having two children has changed my body enough for me to declare that my bra cups are not over-flowing, my life cup surely runneth over.
Thank you to all who have helped me realize this along the way and who will continue to keep me accountable for what truly matters in life.
