Gotta love a good grey's quote to start your day~
As I sit her nomnomnom-ing on chocolate donut holes and a second cup of coffee, I am struck by how often I mistake my daily indulgences for entitled basic rights.
This breakfast is by no means my "right". It is pure luxury.
I woke this morning in my sliver of bed, next to the most perfect boys on the planet and my sweet slumber was interrupted by the screeching baby dog across the house.
What sometimes feels like the most annoying things are actually some of our greatest blessings. We live in a large home, sleep on a clean sheets with blankets to protect us from our frigid air conditioning, have multiple bedrooms and the option to let our kids learn responsibility and nurturing by loving on animals.
It all comes down to perspective. This is something our family is actively working on.
Need versus want, blessing versus burden, happy versus sad.
My mind is overrun with thoughts.
But at the end of that day, at the end of a what felt like a wretched week, I have the breakthru...
My kids are incredible. What I am doing, is of the utmost importance and I kinda rock it!
How lucky am I that I have the privilege of doing something all day, every day that I am not only enjoy-but in the words of the barista at outdoor waco, makes me a "rockstar".
