| Thoughts on the July Kit:
Time flies! Here we are almost one month through summer. As I type this, my kids are in the backyard playing on the slip-n-slide and eating Popsicles. Watching them is like watching summer personified. I love this moment! Right now. Here. I don't always feel like that, but I'll just enjoy that I feel that way now.
Sometimes I catch myself thinking, " I'll be happy when.....," or "My like will slow down when....," or, "I'll get to that when." You know what I mean. I have been thinking a lot about this bad habit of mine and I've tried to think of a way to change this pattern of thinking. And I've found a solution.... that works for me.... sometimes..... LOL!!
Here it is: GRATITUDE!!! Gratitude for a husband who loves me and stands by me no matter what! Gratitude for 3 amazing kids who create 200 lbs of laundry a week and who write me love letters. Gratitude for life's lows that teach me to appreciate the highs. Gratitude for America and those who make her what she is. Gratitude for who and what I am, flaws included, because I was designed by Someone who knows me way better than I know myself. Gratitude for the little things like paper plates when I'm exhausted, worms to entertain my curious kids, and the color pink to brighten the world.
So, I hope you have a gummer filled with gratitude. In these crazy times we live in where there is much to worry about, let's all take time to count those blessings and be so grateful and hopeful and what we DO have!! Because we truly have SOOOO much!!!!
Happy Summer!!
