Blessings

What is it about watching a baby sleep,

that makes you reflect on your life?

I sit here awake in my living room,

with nothing but the sound of my daughter sleeping

in her bouncy chair next to me. 

Her face reflects her innocence

and with one glance,

I am reminded how blessed I am

to be a mom..

..to be her mom..

My life is no longer about me.

It's not about my wants,

or my needs.

My life is now about my daughters.

and know what?

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I feel so blessed

to be able to hold their hands

and help guide them

to whom they will become.

God has given me

the greatest gift

.. and for that I am truly thankful..

My girls will grow up

so fast.

 I may lose countless hours of sleep.

But when I look over at her,

 she is sound asleep and dreaming.

I know that it is worth it.

These are the little moments

I will cherish forever.
