In this game of life, you win some and you lose some. When a door closes, it is an opportunity to look at other options that may have been the better choice for you. Take pride in the winnings, Accept the things you lost. Take a moment to see where things went wrong and learn. There are better things to come. One day, you’ll look back and realize why things went the way they did and the pieces in the puzzle will eventually, come together. We just have to be patient.. and wait.
Dream, Take some risks and remember when you fail, you get up and Try Again.
At the beginning of the year, the hubby and I agreed that we’d start sitting down for dinner together with the boys as much as we can. It was one of our 2012 resolutions. We just found that we haven’t been doing it enough, or at all because we got so used to eating at different times. I’m happy to say that so far, it’s been going really well.
Dinner time has become that very important time of the day for us. it’s the only time we get to spend the day as a family, catch up on each other’s day. Sometimes, i don’t mind that the kids take their time eating, it only means that we get to spend time enjoying each other much longer. <3
here’s Jaeden helping me test my setup before the shoot. haha Gotta love that signature smile >:D
There’s being tired, and then there’s being completely exhausted it brings you to tears just to get your body up and moving because, hello! toys are scattered everywhere, milk has been spilled on the newly changed bed sheets, newly washed clothes are scattered all over the floor & your little boy thinks it’s fun to stay up all night and climb into your back, slap your face or maybe even pull your hair until the early am, and just when he has used up all his energy and decided to sleep, your alarm rings and it’s time to go to work.
Yes. Hello. This was my week. It was tough. Finally, I was just plain exhausted and cried my ass off to my husband who made me think that everything I just complained about was absolutely hilarious. He has his ways. That’s OK, he says.
And then, the little boy comes into the room and does his little dance with his arms up, shaking his body, doing turns and laughs at himself as he drops on the floor.
& No matter how tough our day has been, no matter how un-cleanable the house may be, and no matter how exhausted any momma can be, There is always that little thing that will make you smile and feel like it’s enough to make your day. Today, I was reminded to try not to miss these little things. Sometimes, they are enough to get us back up and running. (&maybe an EXTRALARGE double double too, pls and thanks)
Today i learned that arguments, fights and misunderstandings are opportunities to better understand each other. Sometimes, we go through trials in our marriage that we’d never expect coming. Things can’t always be that good. But eventually we learn. We learn how to handle things better, we learn to “understand” or at least try to. We learn that no matter the circumstances, no matter what hurtful things have been said, Love will always be enough to look past the mistakes. While some things may take time to recover from, there are some that will be easy to let go of. & Then you realize that it doesn’t matter who was right or wrong, and that the only thing that matters is that you both decide to work on things and move forward, grow, Together.
Relationships aren’t perfect just as people aren’t. But it definitely requires two to work. Compromising, Give and Take, Putting each other’s happiness before your own. It requires hard work. Making time for each other in this busy busy world. Making sure that at the end of the day, the one you love knows that you love them, you appreciate them and there is no one else in this world you would rather end and begin the day with but them. Happy friday the 13th <3
