Stop

Have you ever just stopped, looked around and thought "My life is so awesome!" I find that happening to me frequently these days. It could be when the kids are playing or when Rick and Maggie are having a conversation about the solar system. Or it could be when Ricky is tackling his sister and they are falling down in fits of laughter. And then again it could be when Rick is curled up next to me at night. Some of my favorite moments are when Rick and the kids are watching t.v. at the end of the day. Both Ricky and Maggie are jumping all over Daddy as he pretends to "sleep". They stop to watch a little of their "night, night" show and start all over again. The laughter and goofiness fills me up.

I have no idea how I got this blessed but I thank God every day for it all. I sometimes forget or the old anxiety comes back. Then I look around and am reminded of all the wonderful people and moments around me. I live for those moments when I stop and my heart fills up. Life is not just good - it is GREAT!
