Haleyspur of the moment plans
the energy to stay up past 10 p.m.
time to myself
margaritas in the summer
working out 5 times a week
having more than one cup of coffee
regular date nights
creating new recipes
shopping in person instead of online
reading a book by the pool
uninterrupted sleep
But one day, years from now, I’ll look back on this season of life and miss…
the excitement or surprise of seeing a positive pregnancy test
the first flutters of movement in utero
the first moments I held my babies
the many naps my babies spent snuggled against my chest
the baby belly laughs
the first steps
the first words
I’ve realized that life isn’t about making sacrifices, but instead, accepting the blessings and gifts that God has to offer (even if that means a lot of hard work). A fulfilling life hinges upon having the right perspective and mindset, something I have to remind myself of often.
