Blessed through the mess & stress

Tonight I'm making the choice to feel blessed rather than stressed in the mess. Looking at those sweet faces, how can I feel anything other than blessed? 

Well, it is quite possible. It's easy to feel stressed lately. Life is kinda messy here. We're lacking sleep. We're lacking time - time to clean, do laundry, exercise or grocery shop. But, we're all healthy. And [mostly] clean. And happy.

So even though I feel stressed and a mess when things aren't going well... And I feel like I'm never going to be able to put the baby down or lose this postpartum body... And I feel like my threenager is making me crazy...

I'm going to choose to feel blessed. Because, I am.

And it's moments and unexpected gifts like this that make me realize it and put things back into perspective.  

 

  

Blessed no matter what, despite the stress and mess. Thank you, Curly Girl, for putting the joy back into my heart after a difficult afternoon. 

I am truly blessed.
