Because of You

Because of you, my three dears, I…

 

• Know how to set and wrap a jammed finger
• Have become an expect at time management
• And prioritization
• And big problems vs small
• Know the names of various construction equipment and vehicles
• Know the Thomas and Friends characters, and Dora, and Spongebob
• Got over my dirty sticky children thing
• Wake every morning with gratitude and wanting to do better, be better
• Carry bandaids and bubbles, crayons and hand sanitizer in my purse
• Have learned to go with the flow
• Have committed the Night Before Christmas, and Madeline, to memory
• Found my enough

The house is clean enough, organized enough, I exercise enough, sleep enough. Which is perhaps the great ying yang, the fung shui, and balance that all of us are searching for. It is enough. There will always be enough.
