The moments that make your life good, blessed, awesome, amazing.... We all have epiphanies now and again - hopefully more than less. Though you may struggle and have hard times, there are things in your life that make you realize that the bottom-line is, your life is pretty amazing.
When you walk through life focusing mostly on the negative or the trivial matters in life, you start to take things for granted, forgetting all of the little things that make life what it's all about.
There are times when everyone feels overwhelmed, and then we begin to forget to appreciate.
I had postpartum depression, at least that is what I was told. Instead of taking a prescription, I went to an alternative doctor and started a supplement regime which included fish oil and a combination of 5-htp and l-tryptophan. While it did help, my symptoms did not completely subside until I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease about a year later.
Through those times, I learned that it really is easy to forget to be thankful for what you have.
And then there are times where you can't help but appreciate what you have.
The other night, my daughter and I were dancing in our room to music. That is one of her favorite things to do. We had a scarf that we were dancing with. She was enjoying herself thoroughly.
She started saying "dancing 'gether, momma!"
Instead of "together," she says "gether." I wonder why sometimes, whole parts of words are dropped. It is pretty cute though.
In the picture above, we were walking home from a trail that is near our house. Actually, we drove to the trail because it's about a mile away and we were going to stop at the store. But, my husband locked the keys in the car, which is something that is not that hard to do since we have manual locks. We got to enjoy some fresh air while we walked home to get our extra key :)
