GOOD Night

I tend to start the day feeling overwhelmed with what's on my plate. Its just an endless list of things needing to be done and I always feel 20 steps behind. And to top it off, I have an energetic and demanding 3 year old at my feet all the time. And to be clear, she doesn't give a darn about that stupid list.

The day ends in a similar fashion, I'm still overwhelmed and even more frustrated at what hasn't been done or did get done only for me to do it all over again.

But today was a little different.  As I lay my head down to go to sleep, I still have lots to do, the list is still endless,  but I'm going to bed satisfied with what I did with my day. I see the tan on my arms from getting a great run in when I thought for sure it wouldn't be happening. I see that each child did their chores with little fuss, piano got practiced after only having to ask twice, and we had a nice time as a family tonight. Lots of smiles, laughter and soul exploding love for these people I call "family".

As I relish in my day knowing that list is still hovering over me, all I can picture is me dancing away with my little girl in the middle of a shoe store to the beat of "Billy Jean" without a care in the world.

I will fall asleep with a smile on my face and joy in my heart.

Just another reminder that God is good and He is ever present with a loving hand in my life.
