Hello lovelies.
I write today with a lot of mixed feelings. I know that I typically share here on MWM all about home organization and healthy living. Ironically my mixed feelings tie into these two topics as well, in their own little way.
My heart is heavy.
I have received some hard news from a few different friends over the past two weeks. The kind of news that makes your heart ache and moves you to tears.
On Sunday, I cried through most of my church worship service, as my heart was aching for a sweet sorority sister who suddenly lost the love of her life last week. The sweetness of life is brought into perspective when you are reminded that we all have a certain number of days here on this earth. And that life is such a gift.
A gift that is also hard, challenging, rewarding, and takes A LOT of work. I want my “work” in this life to be meaningful and purposeful. I don’t want to look back and wish I had done things differently. I especially don’t want to miss the precious moments with my loved ones. Especially the everyday moments.
The everyday moments are the best.
I am reminded in receiving this hard news, that I need to truly cherish the moments in my life. To look at my sweet babies in their eyes, to cuddle with my hubby, and to really tell the people in my life what they mean to me. I want people to come before “things”, always.
A sink full of dirty dishes, is OK. Missing a workout (or five in a row), is OK. Doing nothing sometimes, is OK too.
Life is beautiful and like the words of Glennon Melton, life is also brutal, or what she refers to as “brutiful”.
Take a moment today to enjoy the moments in your life.
Today is your someday.
