Sometimes we get caught up in life and we often go out chasing what we want or desire. We can get so lost the pursuit of more that we often forget what we have. Sometimes we need to take a step back and look at the things we have already. I know I am guilty of always searching for more. Recently though I had something happen that made me really sit back and take a long hard look at what I have. I realize now that I do have a pretty good life and I have more than most. I realized I need to appreciate my time with my family and the other people in my life. This quote says it all. We forget that tomorrow isn't promised.

Don't get so lost that you forget to enjoy the precious little moments.

Don't get me wrong I love my family but days like today challenge who I am and challenges me to do the right thing instead of something much worse. So this morning my 9 year old couldn't find anything to wear. This is a continued struggle every few weeks. However this morning when she is screaming inches from my face I had a decision to make, I could 1. Act on my instincts and smack her in the face as I would anyone else in my face. 2. Keep calm and let her finish so I could calmly explain to her that I had given her every opportunity to have some of her clothes washed. Yes I am one of those mom's who is teaching my kids responsibility and making them learn what it's like to work for the things you want.
