Since today is St. Patrick's Day, I thought I would write about all the ways that I am so lucky -lucky as a leprechaun!!
I am so lucky to have sweet Amy in my life. I know that God has blessed me with her and I can't imagine my life without her. I have to simply shake my head at memories of when I thought I would never be a mommy. Now, Amy brightens my day with her smile & giggle! Of course, her calling me "mommy" melts my heart each time.
I am so lucky to have a wonderful husband who loves me and Amy and who puts his family first. Kurt is an incredible husband and I'm sure I don't tell him enough how much I love and value him. Kurt works hard to provide for us, never once complaining. Because of his hard work, I am lucky enough to be able to stay at home full-time with Amy.
I am lucky to be able to play all day - with Little People, stuffed animals, play kitchen, etc.
I am lucky to be able to read all day - not necessarily books that are on my "to read" list but something even better - books with Amy. I am lucky to have a daughter who seemingly loves books as much as I do! So, I try not to complain when I find myself reading the same book over and over and over again...and then over and over again!
I am lucky to be able to go outside and play on nice, sunny days.
I am lucky to be able to be re-introduced to the world through the eyes of a two-year-old.
I am lucky to have a wonderful supportive family who would do anything for me.
I am lucky to have a close knit group of friends who know me - good and bad - and still love & accept me for me.
I am lucky to have a God who loves me and forgives me despite my numerous mess-ups.
The list could go on and on. Today, I chose to focus on all these ways that I am one lucky lady!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Each day comes bearing its own gifts. Untie the ribbons.
