The alarm goes off at 5:35 am. I roll over and hit snooze for at least ten more minutes. It is now 5 minutes to 6:00 am. I can choose to either be a grouch and complain about how exhausted I feel both physically and mentally. I can dwell on the fact that at times I feel ill equipped to tackle another day with my 19 little rambunctious, lively, and talkative munchins. Or I can take a deep breath and reflect for a moment. I pause. I take a deep breath. I look at where I am with perspective. This is it. This is exactly where I am supposed to be. God has me here for such a time as this.
It does not mean it is easy living out on a limb but it is the small things that sure do make everything all worth it. I am thankful for so much and the way God has provided for me every step of the way has been incredible.
The world is what we make it. We can choose to either be a grump about it. We can hide in our covers all day and dwell in the darkness. Or we can wake up and live a little. Open your blinds. Take a deep breath and live a little.
