A grateful heart


Do you ever just have days where you stress over everything? That’s how my day was. I stressed over everything, every little thing, things that don’t even need to be stressed over. And then I managed to stub my toe and spill my coffee all over me  all at the same time and so I  then I thought my day was ruined. And in that very moment my toe throbbing and coffee spilled all over me I looked over at Noah who was sitting in his bumbo and laughing at me, and my heart completely melted.

I thought to myself are these the kind of things we let ruin our days; spilled coffee and stubbed toes? I always hear people complaining about the littlest things, things that don’t even matter, things that are so stupid to be upset over. Usually I try not to complain but today I caught myself doing it and I felt so selfish and ungrateful. I mean I have so much to be grateful for, so many of us have so much to be grateful for.

I have a wonderful husband, who has an amazing job and supports me in everything, I have friends and family who are always there for me when I need them, I have a roof over my head and food on the table, and most importantly I have a beautiful healthy baby boy, what more do I need? What more do any of us need? I don't want a little bit of spilled coffee to ruin my day, there are so many people in the world who don't have a steady paycheck or food on the table or even a healthy child and my heart truly goes out to them. 

So no more complaining about spilled coffee and stubbed toes, no more stressing out over things that just don't matter. 

The only thing I need to do is look over at this sweet little face to know that I have a million things to be grateful for. . .
