sometimes the day starts upside down.
Yesterday: There's a lot that did not go well in the last 35 minutes of getting them out the door for school. But because we were running late, we had this "LOOK! It's a beautiful pink sky Mama" moment standing under the trees in our front yard.
Sometimes the day starts upside down. Sometimes you say "hurry up" about 25 times more than you wish you had. Sometimes you want to put the words back into your mouth. Sometimes you wonder if this is really your life.
But then beauty arrives and your little one stops to make sure you all notice and you are reminded: You're doing something right.
You push yourself to remember that most days aren't this hard. Most mornings are have more ease and laughter than pushing and pulling. And you choose to open your heart to kindness and love.
Toward yourself.
Toward those you love.
Toward the woman who will experience other upside down mornings in the days to come.
Because each day you choose.
Yes.
