Reminder

I had a depressed day yesterday. Maybe it was coming back from vacation. Maybe it was having no activities during the week. Maybe it was just hump day. All I know is it was one of those days when I felt sorry for myself for not having a mentally stimulating career, for having to change so many poopy diapers, blah blah blah.

But this morning as I was doing the dishes and listening to my children making cat noises behind me, I turned to laugh at them and was suddenly struck by what I saw. There were two healthy children smiling up at me. In that moment I remembered how very blessed I am.

  1. It's funny how so many times we all want the exact opposite of what we have. :)

  2. Your yesterday is my today. I think it does have something to do with coming off of the vacation high. So thanks for reminding me to look at how I'm blessed too!
