It's okay.
Relax.
Balls are all sorts of flying right now. Apparently they are all going in different directions and are all different shapes, sizes and colors.
A year's worth of school projects from three kids are piled on our counter. The laundry is over-flowing. The bathrooms are disgusting.
AND . . . I'm tired.
These things are not what make living meaningful. It's okay that they are not done.
Planning. Scheduling. Preparing.
Summer is almost here. A birthday party is just days away. Work is wrapping up. Parties, practices, camps, field trips, day trips, new work opportunities! All these things are wonderful!
Why then, am I finding it so difficult to enjoy it all?
Well, I'm normal. That's why!
Let's take a moment to focus on the big picture- our family is happy and healthy. The fact that we have scheduled events is exciting. New opportunities are upon us.
If you're at all like me, we must let go of the nuances of life and focus on living. Our attitudes can make or break the memories that are about to be made. It's 100% up to US.
It's difficult to stop a 'crab attack' when we have balls flying everywhere; hitting us straight in the face at times. But, we must! We must stop, take a deep breath, relax and just enjoy the moments.
It's okay.
It's okay to let 'things' sit in order to participate in life. It's okay to feel a little overwhelmed; taking things on just one at a time. It's okay to apologize for forgetting that relationships are what matter most.
Today is a new day. A long weekend is in our near future. Let's make a pact with one another . . .
1. Check in on our emotions and take a break if needed.
2. If we can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.
3. Conquer each ball one at a time- offering the needed care to each.
4. Remember that it will all get done!
5. Love, love, love the people around us- just the way they are (click here for an awesome read on this!)
Have an amazing weekend. Breathe deep. Laugh big. Love strong.
Balls are everywhere- flying in every direction #takeamoment #justbreathe
It will all get done in due time. Don't forget to #enjoythemoment
Enjoy the journey you have been blessed with, love the people in your life, smile :) and remember, 'It's Okay'.
