No matter what goes on, no matter the stresses that are directly around me, stuff I'm dealing with, all of that is inconsequential. We have this one life, right? I mean, this is all we have. This. Right now. Here. Look around you, wherever you are. That is what you have. This is what I have. Lately I am really truly comprehending the good things. Funny thing, money has zero zero --sub zero to do with it. Here are some things I am very grateful for in spite of tough things I face every day, situations and feelings, despite it all.
1. I love that we eat dinner together every night as a little family.
2. I love that we sing a prayer together every night before we eat that meal together.
3. I love that during that dinner, we talk, have big and little conversations, play games and laugh. We turn off the TV, sometimes my honey plays nice music in the background, but no TV. Dig it.
4. That regardless of this past year, we have all grown closer. I thought we were close before. It's funny what different stages of life can teach you.
This current stage is very humbling yet I'm surprisingly ok with it. More than ok, I'm appreciative because it's taught us who we really are. There are no cracks in the footing around here. If there were, the cracks would have grown into gaping holes. I love our family and I love who I know we are. It's pretty cool.
You cook, you clean, you go to work, you nourish, you love, you scold, you are professional and yet you hang your hat on every dust particle in your home. You are a woman. Some women are Moms and some are not. You are still a woman. We are all made similarly. We are strong.
