i was on a roll...

i've started every day this week with a morning treadmill run, followed by teaching the kids school, cleaning the house, shower, making dinner. a good routine. of course, it all works best when:

• i have a great run...feel like i could just keep on running forever.
  
• the kids don't complain about any of their school work.
• the house isn't in bad shape to begin with, and everyone pitches in to help...without complaining.
• i get a nice uninterrupted shower.
• dinner is easy to make, and tastes great and everyone loves it.

yep, that would be a really good day. and, most days don't turn out that way. that's just life.
take today for example,
i woke up today ready to get on the treadmill and it started making really loud/weird noises. so, no treadmill for me today. hopefully it won't turn out to be anything serious.

perspective makes such a difference doesn't it?! when i dwell on how my day isn't exactly
the way i want it to go, i am crabby and impatient. i am reminded of the many blessings in my life today, and choosing to focus on them today as i go about caring for my family.
