Whew. Thanksgiving dinner is over, the company is gone and the day is nearly done. I am sitting here listening to lullabies, waiting for my sweet little girl to nod off and thinking back over the day. It was busy. And messy. Very messy. Think pumpkin pie on the bottom of the glass top table messy. Potatoes in milk boiled over on the stove messy. Baby going through 3 outfits messy. Mom AND Dad going through 2 outfits messy. Dog tearing up the Michaels' ad messy. But you know what? It was wonderful and I wouldn't change a thing. Except maybe losing the Michaels' coupon.
There is something special about a day when everyone is focused on gratitude. For me, my heart almost felt like it might burst with gratitude today. First when I looked at my baby girl sleeping peacefully this morning. Then again when I saw the look on my husband's face as he watched all three of his children together. And again now when I think back on the day and how blessed we are. Life is good - messes and all.
