I had an epiphany the other day. I remember thinking "duh!" but sometimes the simple things are the hardest to learn. My epiphany went a little like this
I want my life to be happy. I want to be happy. That means I care for my kids and my husband and if I can, I help those around me. That is what my days are made up of. Exercising, going to the park, reading stories, putting together puzzles, cooking, cleaning (more than just the house), laughing, talking; this is what I do every day. These are my days and I am satisfied, contented and happy about it. I want to do these things and because I want to do them it makes life so much better. If I can, I try to build new traditions with my family. If I can, I try and do a little extra on my to-do list. But, if I don't, it's OK! Because I got to go to the park, read stories, put together a puzzle, make dinner, clean the house and laugh and talk with my family. And that proves for a pretty productive day.

I like this. I can't tell you how many times I've thought to myself: I am so lucky that I get to be the one to stay home with this kid & cuddle and read and play!
