The past two weeks have been a blur of deadlines, and airports. Of “to do” lists, germs, colds, nagging headaches, worry and sleepless nights. Of shaking my head, claiming there aren’t enough hours in the day and really wishing I could just catch a nap. (and maybe justify a house cleaner) It’s been a week of far too much complaining on my part when reality is, I truly have nothing to complain about.
One trip away with this incredible group of children, the Champions from The Children’s Miracle Network, re-enforced this in a very big way.
The simple blessing of one simple night at home with my kids. Indulging in chips, dip and a movie filled my heart to overflowing. Thanksgiving followed with some time at the park with my girls, my SassyHubby, Brother In Law and SassyNephew. A nearly perfect way to end a weekend.
This Mama has had a big fat perspective change. Today, I am counting every single one of my blessings and making a promise to myself; I need to strive to live with intention, love every moment. Plan for tomorrow but be so grateful for every single smile and even learn to love the tears.

Those little reality checks are need some time. I’m counting my blessings this week 🙂
This is such a great post…thanks so much for sharing. I love the pictures… 😀
I am almost embarrassed to tell you how many pictures I took over this trip! These incredible little people helped me to remember what is really important. Thanks for reading along.
Very sweet post. You are right.
Thank you! Now I just have to remember keep that promise to myself. 🙂
Isnt it amazing how we can lose perspective, and how an event like this helps to bring us back around to the important things in life. Great photos, love the one pushing the stroller, such a moment!!
You summed it up all in one word! Perspective! It really is a wonderful thing.
Awwww…..yep, getting it all in perspective is a good thing. Love those family photos. 🙂
You got it right when we are feeling those grumpies/ winy moments it is time to focus on what our blessings really are.
Yes, it can be so good to get a hold of perspective, can’t it?
I liked your post and the photos I agree with Judy inspirational thanks for sharing 😉
Have a tanfastic week 😉
Hope you have a fantastic week!
Love these photo collages. I also love “and even learn to love the tears” 🙂 Hope the rest of your week is filled with happiness.
Thank you! Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and realize it’s not that bad, you know?
Hope you are having a fabulous week!
Don’t you love when something inspires us to appreciate what we have. 🙂
Your enthusiasm is contagious, I’m glad you had a wonderful time there, and a wonderful time back home. 🙂
A little perspective goes a long way! Hope you are having an incredible week.
Sometimes we need to events like that to put things in perspective. My sister goes to SOFT once a year. It’s a convention for families that have kids with chromosome issues. My nephew has Trisomy 18. Anyhow it makes us all count our blessings.
Sometimes it’s so easy to forget all the little things that make life such a blessing. You have some wonderful things to be thankful for!
Those little things can make your ordinary day extraordinary 🙂
Hope you are having a wonderful week!
