Lucky

I am reflecting today on my behavior, recent occurrences, friends, child, marital situation, etc. etc. and I finally just decided to stop reflecting and realize how lucky I am. Reflecting can be good and it can help you grow but sometimes you can also get caught up in a whirlwind of why’s, why nots, and how comes. Life is way too short for that and so I will just realize I’m a very lucky girl. Sure I’ve had my trials, tribulations, heartbreaks, traumas, health issues and BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH, but despite them all I’m really proud of what I’ve done with my life and who I am becoming. I think I’ve built a good life for myself and I have some amazing people surrounding me with all their flaws and mine. Life is not perfect and it’s not meant to be so enjoy the good days and make the bad ones better because I guarantee you that your life is infinitely better than some other peoples’! We ALL have our own STUFF so just feel LUCKY!

Magical Mess

Life is indeed a magical mess. It’s hard to navigate, especially with children. Children add such a different dimension to life. It’s something that in essence you have to “deal with.” I know that sounds horrible but it’s true. They are messy little creatures in more sense than one. They make dinner much much more complex than it was before. Messes, clanking, noise, food choices, tactics on keeping them quiet and so on. So how does one adjust? Slowly, and continuously. It does not in fact happen when they are born. I am still adjusting.
