Choose to see BEAUTY

Sitting here smelling my pot of white chicken chilli cooking and it hits me...goodness I am blessed. I am doing my best to remind myself how much I have to be grateful for.

It's been one of those days that I am overwhelmed by the small things. The laundry that is piling up, the dishes I have to do, the cleaning I have to do to catch up for the past three weeks of being in bed with my back. A back that doesn't want to cooperate with how my head and heart feel. It's overwhelming...but does it have to be? Do I always have to let the little things add up to an explosion of tears?

Why can't I choose to see the beautiful things that are staring me in the face today? My little Doo asking me if my back is hurtin' and if she can 'wub' it, my Bug and her tapping her mouth to tell me she loves me, a little bit of rain just slightly cooling things off, running water to bathe in and air conditioning to keep cool, that delicious pot of chilli waiting with dessert to boot and a prince that will soon walk in the door and greet me with a sweet kiss.

I am guilty of becoming down easily and I have to work to remember that I am blessed. It's my choice to see beauty or to allow Satan to steal my joy.

Be blessed,
K
