Contentment...?

So for months I've wondered "why" ... why certain struggles, why this, why that.  Not good, I know, but I'm human.  For whatever reason I've been fed with enough mini meals of humble pie that I feel like I'm coming out the other side.  I'm starting to feel content with my family and my future.  I don't feel overwhelmed with the day to day but rather am starting to enjoy my little ones and normal life.

IT'S ABOUT TIME. ;)

I feel like smacking myself upside the head and telling myself that the (inner) drama and worry and feeling of entitlement was not needed.  Enjoy life.  Whatever your life is, find joy in it.  Here are my little joys for today:  Josh speaking a 7 word sentence and flashing me his little imp-ish smile, dimple and all.  Jim shoveling most of the driveway before work.  Elizabeth enjoying her pears (introduced today) and falling asleep while nursing before nap.  And lastly, June acting far more than 3 and entertaining Elizabeth while I cleaned a mess upstairs.

See... life doesn't have to be overwhelming and chaotic.  One step at a time, one experience at a time, and little joys found along the way.  It's all about perspective.

::Ommmmm:: ;)
