Blessed....yes, I am blessed. I don't say that lightly. Today as I get a moment of silence I have time to step back and look at my life and really feel that I am indeed, blessed. I hate how that term gets thrown around and when I say it I mean it!
I love my family! I have a great husband, I do! Today he was so great to let me sleep in til 10am! Awoke to him dusting the house and the boys happy and fed. Now he took them with him to run some errands and I have a few hours to myself! Time to think, reflect. A quiet house. Ahhh. I can't do laundry or dishes (until the drain is fixed, hopefully today).....so I have a quiet mind too...not thinking about those constant chores. Instead I am quietly and slowly, showering and changing out sheets, getting ready and getting out the winter bins to find out what we have and what we need. Making lists of what we need and again am blessed we are so fortunate God has provided enough for us to get what we need.
It is amazing what a little quiet time will do for you! I have been 'blessed' enough this week to have a few hours of this time here and there and have really loved it! It makes me a better Mom and a better Wife and a better Friend!
I am blessed to have a good friend or two! That is all I need. Good friends are hard to find, and I am thankful to have that!
A good husband, also hard to find, and I have that too!
Two wonderfully rambunctious, happy and good little boys, I have that too!
Not to brag, but I do know how 'blessed' I am!
Ask me tomorrow when chaos resumes and I may forget how blessed I am but hopefully I can reread this and remember to take a little quiet time for myself and find those blessings again!
