Today could have been seen as a 'bad day'. My one boob painfully engorged and topped with a beautiful bruised nipple. A cranky screaming teething toddler that isn't satisfied by ANYTHING and needs to be held pretty much non stop. A messy home that needs cleaning and about a thousand other things that need doing.
On occasion my first world attitude lets days like this get me in a mood and cause me to say today was crappy. But instead of succumbing to this negative way of thinking I chose to do things differently... and you know what!? I had a GREAT day! Mainly because upon waking up I made this decision to have a great day and thus started it the right way. I layed in bed watching my two favorite boys wake up me to me and went through all the things in my life I am grateful for. Then I snuggled them both a bit did a little yoga stretching and started on with my mom duties. Then I made a point to do something for myself while Kai took his nap. Something just for me. It was all that simple. Then when kai woke up I felt refreshed to start back up enjoying his presence even in his most challenging state.
I am an incredibly blessed woman and sometimes I have remind myself of that and chose to see the beauty. At the end of the day it's all just a choice. We chose to be upset and we chose to be happy. Today I chose joy. How about you!?
