The Road Less Traveled
• Jan. 10, 2008 - Appreciation
Life as a mommy has brought with it many joys. While some of the things on this list were in my life before my little blessings were born, they seem to mean more to me now. Some of the things listed are specific to parenthood. All of them are worthy of my appreciation!
* Prayer.
* The last piece of pizza, when no one else wants it.
* Silence.
* A raging fire, when it is freezing cold outside.
* My first cup of coffee in the morning.
* Unprompted acts of kindness or generosity from my boys.
* Naps.
* Being understood after saying something only once.
* My walkman and CD's.
* Completing a project without interruption.
* Taking video and pictures of the kids.
* Leisure time after chores and errands are done.
* Personal thought and reflection.
* Reading.
* Witnessing a child master a new skill.
* Decorating for a holiday or birthday party.
* Friends.
* Conversation with my husband.
* Sitting all the way through a sermon at church.
* Disposable dishes.
* Easy-to-make meals.
* Outdoor fun.
* Board games.
There are many more things that I could list, but I am going to leave the computer for now. My house is uncharacteristically quiet, as both boys are taking naps. I will take advantage of this blessing to get a few things done- in silence, and without interruption! |
