I want to feel the warm breeze blowing through my hair. Hear the sounds of the birds and catch a sly glance of them at the bird feeder, since now that we got rid of our killer cat I can once again have one outside without feeling like I was louring them to their death.
Oh, can't forget the phone so I don't have to run into the house to answer it since for some reason my kids seem to be def to it. Even though I still have to run into the house to break up fights, get drinks and food, and anything else the kids feel like distracting me with.
Now I look over at our new fence just partially put up. The empty place I would like to have a quiet, soothing pond and some fish, once again I can now have fish since killer is gone. The other empty place I would like to have my raised garden so I feel like I am contributing to going green. Oh, let's not even go to the front of the house...
Well I guess no matter what season it is, my life is never going to be the way I have it in my head. I guess it's the perfectionist in me or the fact I don't stay content very long. I'd like to blame it on my kids and husband but I guess that wouldn't be fair, completely. :)
I have too long a history of looking past the blessings and wishing for something more. More room, more color, more help, more sleep, more things done around the house.... When will I just relax and enjoy the blessings and not sweat the small stuff? Or try to tackle the big stuff myself without God, all that gives me is a headache and a family who would like to kick me out of the house until it passes.
I have taken one step closer to a peaceful freedom. I am reading ONE THOUSAND GIFTS by Ann Voskamp. I have truly fallen in love with this book! Now if I can just stop procrastinating and finish reading it!
Check it out I promise you'll be blessed!
