Somewhere my mom is probably hitting her head thinking, "why is Tara NOW getting this? Didn't I teach her at all?" You certainly did, mom. You certainly did.
Today I've just had so much on my mind, it's kinda crazy because I feel like I didn't do a ton...I guess I really didn't. But I did have some conversations with a few people who I really love today that made it seem like I did a lot. Those conversations made the time worth while and seem like so much more to me. B's sister had her baby on Monday and today I went with their mom to see the cute little one. Oh my goodness, he was the cutest little boy ever. Sitting in the hospital holding him, being surrounded by wonderful people, I began to think- It's an amazing opportunity we have to be thankful for our lives, the happiness that comes and sometimes may go. B's sister, even amongst the pain, sat there telling me how she doesn't remember the bad parts of being in labor really, she just remembers how happy she felt and the good times of the whole process. I thought that was phenomenal because, goodness, being in labor doesn't sound like a lot of fun; but I was just so impressed with her positivity and her grateful heart. Today she was an example to me to always be grateful. So, I'm committing myself to find even the tiniest things to be grateful for.
Why not? It'll make me even HAPPIER.
