Life isn’t always fun and happy. Today we were supposed to go to the Happiest Place on Earth, aka Disneyland, BUT…. when we woke up excited at 5:30 am, we heard some pretty awful coughing coming from my sons bedroom.
Instead of going to Disneyland, we are headed to the pediatrician and watching Blippy and Muppet Babies all day. (Not the fun day we imagined).
But life changes your plans sometimes.
Even though I am now cleaning up messes, taking care of my babies colds and feelings, and scrambling to put together a Thanksgiving Dinner for ourselves for tomorrow night, (because whatever we have here sounds contagious)…. I am still happy.
How?
Because I am grateful.
I am choosing to focus on all the good.
Choosing to appreciate all the blessings in our lives.
I am grateful my son is feeling better right now, that his numbers on the Oxygen meter are good, I am grateful we have each other and a roof over our heads. I am grateful I get to take care of these beautiful souls and for my family and for warm blankets and socks and sweatshirts to keep us cozy. I’m grateful we found a Vegan apple pie that doesn’t have soy in it.
Splash Mountain can wait till next week.
I want to encourage all of you to see the good, to focus on what you do have, to appreciate the blessings in your life, and that the act of gratitude- brings you tremendous happiness.
Happy Thanksgiving.
