I Am Grateful...

I am {grateful} for these kissable, chubby cheeks.



I am {grateful} for the blessings of motherhood.
I am {grateful} for the perspective it gives me on things that I used to take for granted.

A lot of things haven't really gone according to MY plan, when it comes to post-pregnancy life...
-I still haven't recovered from my difficult delivery.
-School next semester is {unfortunately} going to take me away from my baby for a period of time everyday.
-I'm having a difficult time dropping my last 10 pounds.
-My house is a mess, and Colbie's nursery still isn't done.

But on days that I feel like I'm failing at this job, or that I'm somehow lacking, I get to look at this sweet little face:



I'm reminded of what is {truly} important.

Happy Thanksgiving!
