Little Speck

Sometimes I feel like a little speck on this earth

When we think what is going on in our lives is so big

I try to picture myself as a little dot on the huge map of this world

I picture myself, my family, my issues

and then go out just a bit

and look at the neighborhood and what everyone around me has going on

taking it a step further to this state, country, and on and on

Then, my issues don't seem as big

I know there is so much good going on in this world

but there is also so much bad

As I sit here and foster a little doggie

I know their are thousands more that need a home

to live

As I sit here and try to be the best mom, wife, sister, daughter, friend

I look around and always see how someone else

is doing just a little bit better

But

I know that this one life that I am saving

is enough

I know the wife, mom, sister, daughter and friend I am

is from the heart

and it is enough

I want to always give my best

Knowing

that there is always someone out there that has it worse

and always someone out there that has it better

I have to say though

even with the hard times

It is hard to imagine someone having it better

I feel like I have it made

Even in the bad times

good things have come out of them

Today I got to pick Bo up from school early because he was sick

and he greeted me with the biggest hug ever

and told me I was beautiful

We played alot of Toy Story Yahtzee

it was fun

Samantha and I laughed so hard we cried in her bed tonight as we

listened to a funny story

I could see a glimpse froward of fun times ahead

just laughing

being together

just us girls

I had so much fun with Baylen

as he ate his cereal in my lap this morning

Watching Jamie jump on Bo's bed

to go to sleep

Yes, I think we are doing alright

So

As long as I remember

that I am indeed just a little speck

and there are so many things going on around me

so that I will be more apt to be considerate of what is going on in other lives

I will be fine

It is all about perspective

It is all about joy

Thank you God

for my many blessings for today

Please help me know

that even though I want to do say and be all

that what you have called me to be ,,,do,,, and say today

is enough

It's the little things in life

it really is

I am learning to enjoy them more

I always thought I did

but I really am now....

Family and Friends

that is all a girl like me needs...
