You know, couldn't fall asleep 'til 4 am, 7:15 toddler wake up call, forgot my Young Women's lesson at home, spilled boiling hot food in my lap, whiney child kind of day.
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I could just hit the reset button and start these kind of days over.
And then I got to thinking...Hey, I may not be able to hit the reset button on my day, but I can hit the reset button on my attitude.
It's amazing how perspective can change the way you feel in an instant.
I was tired, cranky, and ready to call it a day when I realized that despite the difficulties, I am blessed with so much. I am blessed with a healthy child who smiles when I get him from his crib in the morning. I am blessed with a loving husband who will run home and get my lesson for me without a word of complaint. I am blessed with a cupboard full of food when many people are without. I am blessed to be alive.
When I thought about that, a weight of frustration was immediately lifted from my shoulders and gratitude filled my heart.
My day didn't seem so bad anymore.
I mean, how can I be upset when I have this little cutie keeping me company all day!
And let's not forget this one...first day of school as a 2L.
