Life Lessons

We learn new lessons everyday

some more important then others

but we do indeed learn

everyday

We can choose to either take these lessons

and use them

or forget them

Here are a few things

that I have learned lately

I love my husband

this may sound odd

of course I love my husband

but I really know I love my husband

we all know we are suppose to love our spouse

and we feel that we are in love with them

But now

I am compelled to say

that as cheesy as it may sound

he completes me

When I am around him

he makes me feel

more secure

then anything else

ever could

I am so proud

to be his wife

I am so proud

he is the father

of my children

He is so strong

so kind

so real

If others knew

his heart

they would be so jealous

that he is mine

Grammy did good

so good

she raised a boy

that I have fallen in love with

and has become the best daddy

She was so proud of him

and told me often

So

my goal this year

is to make sure

he knows

how much I love him

everyday

I have to give credit to his dad too

He is just like him

like I have said before

I am so blessed

to be a part of that family

and to have a family of my own

that I love so much

It is all I need

to be surrounded by love

what a lucky girl I am

My house is a wreck

but I don't care

We have Christmas up still

but that is fine

I have bills to pay

workouts to be made

people to call

Races to plan

Mail to be sorted

Calendars to be looked over

toys to be put away

laundry to be washed

dishes to be unloaded

cars to be cleaned out

but you know

it is okay

that all will be here tomorrow

and we never know

if the ones we love

will

I know this does not mean

we should not do our daily task

But what it does mean

is that we should never let our daily task

trump what is important

like

rocking our babies to sleep

whispering I love you in a loved ones ear

pausing for that extra long hug

Looking at someone and really listening

to what they have to say

Writing that note

calling that person

saying thank-you

yes

all the other stuff needs to be done

but lately

I have learned

that we can't take all of that with us

so does it really matter

if all of the "Stuff" is perfect

no

what does matter

is that we love

and are loved

the rest will get done

it really will

I enjoyed being with family tonight

I really did

even though

I was so sad

I looked around

and knew that there was much to be happy about

so much

Missing Grammy

missing her so much

Bo woke me this morning saying he was making

a jet pack to fly up to heaven

Phoebe and Samantha are painting

their nails

in a color Grammy would like

If we could only have faith like a child

Sometimes we need to be more like kids

they love deep

have faith

and focus on what really is important...

Feeling blessed to be loved

by so many
