A Little Perspective

Honestly, some days I feel stuck. As sad as that sounds, it's the honest truth. My goal this year is to be more honest with myself regarding my feelings. Being a parent is one of life's greatest joys. I feel absolutely honored to be Addison's mommy! She's the brightest, sweetest, active, and most imaginative little girl around. God's most precious gift to me besides my salvation.

There are those days though, where I feel frazzled, worn down, tired, bored, lonely, and downright trapped in my own house! Crazy? I know, right?! It's not how I feel about her but it's how I feel sometimes...honesty.

But today as I was driving to Lansing (one of my new favorite places), I had the radio on and 10,000 Reasons came on, and I had a moment of ahh. My narrow perspective on life is all about those feeling I have from time to time... but those are just feelings. Normal or abnormal they may be, I can't base my life's perspective on feelings.

I love my family, and I wouldn't trade them or being a stay-at-home mommy for ANYTHING in this world. It's a sweet gift. But sometimes I think my view from the kitchen window gets foggy or "floggy" as my daughter says. When I simply focus on the mundane tasks of the day and don't take time to slow down, savor life and all it's sweet blessings, I tend to get clouded in my view.

Sometimes all I need is my car & some Starbucks to gain a little perspective on life.



Life is good. So very good. Even though it's cloudy today, I see the sun. The SONshine as He smiles down on me, saying, "it's ok, remember to look for me on those cloudy days, I'm right here."
