I think it's just crazy how I can feel both completely overwhelmed and immensely blessed all at the same time. There are moments in my day when I just think "oh crap, I don't know if I can do this anymore." I just want to give up.
It's usually after having cleaned all day and feeling like I'd accomplished something then I go take a shower or go to the bathroom and come back and see that every room that I had spent hours cleaning has been completely destroyed in a matter of minutes. Or after "slaving" over a meal, spending 20 minutes at the dinner table fighting kids to eat even just a few bites. Those are the moments when I just feel like I want to give in. Give up. Scream.
In the middle of it all I wish I had the presence of mind to just step back from it all and focus on what I have. Because there are also sweet moments in every day when I am acutely aware of the abundance of blessings that I have. I have such a good life. I have everything I need and so much more.
My goal today (just today, let's not be overly ambitious here) is to try to remember those blessings when I am ready to give up. I love my life. That should be my go to thought "I LOVE MY LIFE."
I'll let you know how that works out for me.
