Last week, I took the babies to their 8 week checkup. River came along and was such a big helper. Everything was perfect. They are perfect. And I am lucky! I am lucky that things are so good. I am lucky that my two newborn babies are so healthy and happy and growing! I am lucky that all my other children are healthy and happy. It sounds so cliche, but it is so true.
The other day I went out with my friend for lunch. I couldn’t wait to talk to a friend. For some reason, I told her I wasn’t lucky…..that things hadn’t been going my way lately. I was thinking about the little things……all the little, silly, insignificant things…that seemed to be piling up and turning into big things. She reminded me how wrong I was..how lucky I am……how INCREDIBLY lucky I am. And she is right. I am lucky. very lucky.
Your babies are beautiful! Kudos to you for recognizing how fortunate you are. We tend to get caught up with the “petty” bits in life. Some perspective sets in and suddenly we realize all the beauty around us.
You’re blessed to have such a good friend who could help you see this.
Wishing you a beautiful day.
