Big Picture

I came into this post with thoughts on motherhood. I was going to talk about the blur that the last month has been for me. A newborn and a toddler at the same time is not for the faint of heart. There are some days that I wonder where did the day go as in I accomplished nothing but changing diapers and feeding little mouths. There are some days where I think I would pay serious money for just an hour of sleep.

I was going to continue on that sometimes it is just about survival. There are some days that I feel like a rockstar. The house is cleaned...dinner was cooked and served (not delivered ha!).. and a shower was taken! There are other days where the kids are still in their pajamas by late afternoon...too much tv was watched.. and I had to make a choice between a shower or sleep.
With all of that being said though.. I love my life. Staying home with my children is what I always wanted to do. It is not for everyone but it is what I chose and what makes me happy. So it is about survival some days.. other days its awesome but all in all it is worth it.. big picture worth it.

Now to take those thoughts and apply it to life in general. Whether you work...go to school..stay at home..do all of the above it should be the same concept. Some days are going to suck... some days are stressful. Some days hurt. Some days bad memories and heartaches are going to haunt you. Some days you are going to feel ugly..your outfit doesn't fit right or something to that effect. Some days you are going to make mistakes.. make the wrong choice..or say the wrong thing. Some days bad things are going to happen.

Then there are the days that are awesome. You have an awesome hair day..or your eye makeup comes out just right. You feel confident and sure of yourself. You make memories and get lots of things accomplished. You enjoy the day and made the right choices. You ate right and heck maybe even got a workout in. Some days everything goes right and falls into place. You feel like superman...

Then there are the days that are in between and that is okay too...

Bottom line is though..yes some days life is about survival.. life is hard and unfair. Other days are awesome and great. But it has to be about the big picture. No matter what kind of day your life decides to have keep the big picture in mind. Keep your focus... remember your goals. Remember what and who is important and only keep the people in your life that are going to be good to you on both the good, bad and in between days. Its all about the big picture...
