Gratitude ✨ Came across this quote, “What a privilege it is to clean a home that was made dirty by healthy children playing, to clean dishes because we got to eat 3 meals today, and laundry that needed to be done because we all have clothes to wear” And instantly puts things in perspective. The messy home and piles of laundry are a welcomed chore knowing life is happening here. Practicing gratitude each day has greatly altered my perspective. While I’m used to seeing immaculately tidy homes on social media and wondering how long it’s going to take Olivia to pick up her shoes from the hallway, I’m reminded that one day, I’m going to miss it. Miss seeing their stuff around the house, miss having wash and fold their laundry (we’re working on them folding but I’m kind of a control freak there) and miss having to clean the 3-4 cups they use daily. Live the life and don’t worry so much about maintaining an empty sink 😉 practicegratitudedaily relateableposts relateablemom lifemoments lifestyleblogging
