My :0( Day Turned :0)

June 24, 2010 No Comments

Today has been one of those days where I feel like I’ve been working hard, but there’s nothing to show for it.

Well, my four children have full tummies and I made my sweetie a sandwich, so they’re all happy. I’ve changed diapers, ran a load of dishes, and cleaned a little (emphasis on the word ‘little’).

I guess there are little things here and there that got done, but no major accomplishments or victories. So, my day feels wasted. 16 or so hours of my life that aren’t coming back.

As I’m writing this out, I feel ungrateful and filled with negativity. Undeserving of the blessings I have.

After all, I’m breathing. Can you remember the last time you were thankful just for the fact that you’re alive?

And it certainly doesn’t stop there. I have a tremendously wonderful husband who adores me to pieces, encourages me to be myself and loves me exactly how I am, flaws and all.

I have four amazing children, two girls and two boys, from nine months to almost thirteen years. There are so many stages I’m enjoying because of their age ranges. Never a dull moment.

I have a roof over my head and food (waaaaaay too much food) to eat. I’m healthy, as far as anyone can tell, and I have wonderful family and friends surrounding me.

I have a very nice vehicle to get around in, and it was a complete gift from God. He gave me exactly what I prayed for.

My husband’s computer repair business flourishes and, although times are especially challenging right now, God continues to guide and provide.

So, as my day is coming to a close (I hope), I’m reconsidering the overall tone to take with me and my jammies to bed, and I’ve decided to be thankful for the things that I’ve selfishly overlooked and humbled to be so fortunate.

Have you considered your blessings? What are you thankful for today that you have been taking for granted?
