“Success is waking up in the morning, whoever you are, wherever you are, however old or young, and bounding out of bed because there’s something out there that you love to do, that you believe in, that you’re good at – something that’s bigger than you are, and you can hardly wait to get at it again today.”
Whit Hobbs
I love this quote because it describes perfectly how I feel most days. When I wake up, my first thoughts are on my kids and our day ahead. I love being a mom. Their smiling faces light up my day and bring tears to my eyes. Its amazing what an impact they have in my life. There are the days that they drive me crazy making me want to dive off a cliff into a boiling lake of lava while singing 'I'm a little teapot'. But those days are few thankfully, leaving me to enjoy their spunky and curious nature.
Its amazing to me that I am in this place at all. Prior to meeting my husband, I wanted nothing to do with marriage or kids. My life's goal was to either be an FBI serial killer profiler or to join the peace corp - which I realize reside on opposite ends of the job spectrum but either way there was no room for a family in my vision. Isn't funny how God changes you? Here I am today a happy wife with the usual 'close the toilet lid' complaints, a excited mother who occasionally drifts over to the cliffs of insanity and my children's teacher which I surprisingly love. I thank God frequently for giving my all that I have which is a hidden treasure of love, joy, happiness with touches of bewilderment and frustration. But I love it all and I look forward to every day.
