8:00am Morning!! Everyone is awake.
Now I don't know much about science but I don't think I could categorize this as a "good night's sleep".
So here I sit listening to the first of 3 loads of laundry that need to be done. Staring at my dirty breakfast plate that needs to be washed with the rest of the dishes filling the kitchen. I've been here before and lets just say it's not one of my favorite life moments... but at the same time I am amazed that things are still getting done, I'm still conscious, and I'm able to laugh when Marinn tells me she can't eat anything pink anymore.
How do we stay conscious when we haven't had that sleep we enjoy so much? I give honor to coffee...sounds like you just have it naturally!!!
ReplyDeleteJessica,
ReplyDeleteWhat encouragement to keep going, and do it successfully. Sometimes I look around and think, "This again?" A very SO TRUE quote that I hold onto is, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to suceess. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."
There is so much happiness given in the many BLESSINGS that God has given us, that those "just looking around" moments, become so insignificant.
Thank you for taking the time to post these. They add to the lives of others!
There is so much happiness
