there is GOOD in every day

This week I was reading some notes written in an old set of scriptures. I came across this quote ...

"Every day may not be good,

but there's something good in every day."

I thought it especially summarized my days this week. We had a few rough days with emotions, colds, aches, runny noses, coughs, shots, whining, crying, fighting, fussing ... etc. It wasn't horrible but I had a few rough spots. By Saturday I wondered if I could handle hearing one more child cry, whine, complain, or argue.

But all in all, I came to the conclusion that I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. It's not like I want to get a job doing anything else. Really!

I wouldn't ever have the simple joys I have with my family any place else.

I wouldn't see Max cheer 'Yay' and jump up and down all because I told him I'd make hot chocolate.

I wouldn't get random kisses on the cheek by Hannah.

I wouldn't hear sneezes and sighes from Truman.

I wouldn't get to rejoice when Jimmy walks in the door every day.

I wouldn't hear Abe's jolly laugh or hear his one funny joke any where else.

So - - - I'll take my life and try to do better at finding the good in every day. I want my kids to know that I love them and that I want to be where I'm at - here at home as their mother.
