Sometimes I Forget

Sometimes . . . .

In the midst of a laundry pile

and stepping over coats that have been left on the floor

 and walking by the dishes

 I forget that MUCH sooner than I'd like 

there will be less laundry and not enough coats and just a few dishes.

I forget to cherish this sweet busy chapter.

Sometimes I choose to fill my morning with meaningless things

instead of starting it with God.

 I forget that my days are always better when I start with prayer.

Sometimes I make a judgement before I know all the facts.

 The girls were suppose to be doing their quiet time

 I heard voices and assumed they were off task.

Only to turn the corner and find this scene.

Pure sweetness.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed with school, housework, yadda yadda yadda

 that I feel like I'm too busy to stop and snuggle and read a book

 or kiss a boo boo

 and I forget that before I know it

 my babies won't fit in my lap anymore.

I need make time to create lil' sweet moments 

 and I forget that it doesn't take much to delight the hearts of my girls.

Like painting their piggies.

And when I'm in the hub bub of it all, I forget to take little moments for myself.

Even if it's a five minute popsicle break between loads of laundry.

And thanks to my sweet friend 

Alicia

 and her Happy Day project

I took a little break to paint my nails a sassy red.

I never paint my fingernails

but can I just say . . .

I'm digging it!

(why does my hand look so old?)

I think I'll take a few more nail painting breaks.

I need to remember to focus on the meaningful.
Everything else is just busy junk.

I'm linking up with Alicia.
You really should join in on the happy project fun.
Even if you don't have a blog.
Next week she has challenged to make a summer list.
Just for me.
Oh how I love making lists!

 

I hope you take a minute today to create sweet moments.

And remember, it doesn't take much.
