It’s only human nature to compare ourselves to one another. But if I find myself starting down that road, I stop to count my blessings—good jobs, loving husband, roof over my head, healthy and happy kids….and I try to remember that my postpartum flabby tummy means that I was able to have those kids(my motherhood “badge of honor”), and have more than enough to eat! :) There will always be people who have more than you and that have less than you, so don’t bother comparing! I try not to wish away time (as in “I wish my child would just grow up already!) because time is the greatest gift, and I will never have this time again. Thank you, God for all the blessings you have given to me! (please give me the strength to also enjoy and endure them!) :)

Thanks for writing this blog. I recognized this song from the Door County video which we happend to pop in just the other day. I was looking at the kids and how much they have grown in the past 2 years since the trip. I couldn’t help but tear up seeing some of those photos. I think it is really beneficial to look back at some old photographs, a scrapbbok, or some family movies, to reflect on your life since that time. I find it helps me appreciate the present just a little bit more. Old memories have a way of making you feel proud of who you are and how far you have come on your journey.
