I wish I'd written this, because I LOVE it. I stole this from Kelle Hampton's Blog - Enjoying the Small Things. Wanted to share with my fellow mama friends.
Trying to keep afloat, pickin' and choosin' each day which balls we're going to attempt to keep up in the juggling act while a few fall at our feet, waiting for their turn...
This is how life works though, and when you add it all together--perfect snuggly crafty days, mama dates and family dinners plus busy work days, babysitter nights and "Candyland is going to have to wait" afternoons, it can still equal Really Good Mom...This fact is powerful when you catch yourself comparing your methods and outcomes with other mamas (it's a wash--don't do it). When you see the seems-like-she-does-everything pizzaz of another mom, know that she's enjoying a shining moment among many other kinds of moments, and be happy for her. And when you see a mom who might be losing her cool or maybe arranging her priorities differently than you would, assume that there are other days when things shift and she too enjoys that shining moment of everything-feels-just-right. Amen? Amen. Isn't it nice when we don't have the pressure of figuring out everyone else's life for them?
