I was catching up on my favorite blogs tonight. Big A is busy taking Sissy to and fro tonight with gymnastics and dance class. Little Lady is asleep in her bed. I have time for me. So I read blogs. And I read my favorite blog, Enjoying the Small Things by Kelle Hampton. If you haven't read her blog, you need to. She is a wonderful mother and she inspires me on a daily basis. She is an incredible writer and photographer. Tonight her words resonated even more with me than usual, and I'm not sure if it's because I actually have a moment to myself to truly soak up the words and their meaning or if it is because I just bought Little Lady a Layla Grace beanie so I'm already a little on the sappy side but I read this...
The concept of perfect is not flawless or four-point-oh. It's happiness. Happiness with all its messiness and not-quite-there-ness. It's knowing that life is short, and the moments we choose to fill our cup with should be purposeful and colorful. And that's perfection.
...need I say more. She sums it up right there. Thank you Kelle, when my house is dirty, when I have a baby that took off her diaper and then went to the bathroom, or a pre-teen being, well, a pre-teen, you put it into perspective. I have this great, big, beautiful life and I plan on cherishing every moment.
