Today is a good day. It is new. It is another opportunity. Another chance. Brand spankin' new.
I love how my kids wake up. I love how they embrace each new day. I know that life is too short, and that soon enough they will worry and fret about their troubles like the rest of us. But, today, my baby girl woke up, smiled... and wanted to hurry off to see her bruddas (brothers) before they were off to skull (school). My middle son was already up and about, chatting about Halloween, thinking about how to arrange his costume. My morning glory. My oldest... well... lets just say he's already got my bad genes on his side, and not a morning person. Ten is too young for coffee, right? I have full confidence he will come around some day after discovering the wonderful world of the coffee bean. Till then, I will just watch him drag and moan... begging for just one more wink.
Today I will make another attempt to push heavy thoughts to the back of my mind. Drink up my family... embrace their quirks and curiosities. Celebrate with my good friend as she closes on her dream house. Today I will laugh, smile, thank God for my blessings. Today I will push the heavy thoughts out, to be thought about another day. I will think about how wonderful my life is... and how blessed I am for my troubles, and how my character is strengthened from my heart aches. Today I will smile.
