Full

My life is always overwhelming. Sometimes that is overwhelming in the way of too many todo's, too many energetic kids, in general just too many frustrations and not nearly enough patience. Thankfully most of the time, it is overwhelming in a different way. In a way that makes my heart light up and smile because I feel so blessed. Blessed to have Joslin and all of her spunk. It is amazing that one little person has brought so much joy to our family. Sometimes I feel that it might be possible for my heart to burst because of how she makes me feel. Blessed also to have steady employment that allows us to provide for our needs and some extras too. Blessed to have two loving and supporting families that we can call at anytime. (Sometimes too many times right mom?) Blessed to have friends that understand me and love me just like I am. That lift me up when I am on the other side of being overwhelmed. Simply blessed.
This year as Thanksgiving came around, I found myself full. Yes, full of wonderful food like Maggie's cheesy potatoes but also just full of life and love. What a great place to be.
