I always try to get the positive out of life whenever I can! In somewhat yucky situations, like a rainy day, I tell my kids I love the rain because feeling it on my skin lets me know I’m alive {you know what the alternative is}!
I 'try' to be grateful about everything I have. When my kids give me a kiss, or do a good deed, or for no reason at all, I tell them they “make my heart smile”!
A couple days ago when I was making lunch for my daughter, she looked at me and said “Mommy, you make my heart smile”! I know she was just happy to be getting her beloved spaghettio's that I only allow about once a wee, but I'll take what I can get! My heart was soaring in that moment!
Then, this morning it was raining pretty good when we left for school, and she said “this rain makes me feel alive!... Right Mommy?” Of course I agreed, with a smile on my face and soaking wet cloths. A year from now, 20 years from now, I will remember her words and the look on her face! I already forgot the feel of the uncomfortably wet cloths on my body!
These are the little moments in life I embrace and crave every day!
Your kids will pick up things from you, the good and the bad. Watch your words, watch your actions, watch your attitude and watch your heart! Even when it comes to the little things that might seem insignificant… Like a rainy day!
