Theres so much meaning to life.. Just look a little deeper

Taking things for granted is something many of us do without even noticing until it is spoken up. I myself have come to realize that I was taking my boyfriend for granted. I have always wanted someone who would accept me flaws and all and when I finally got that, I had no clue what to do with it. My boyfriend is one of the most amazing men I have ever met. From him fighting and gaining full custody of his four year old daughter, to coming into a relationship with me and taking on my three year old son as if he was his own. I myself am a very complicated person, I am very emotional and stubborn. But no matter what my attitude is he doesn't ever turn his back on me. Im just not use to people being so nice to me, so when I get it I push you away without even realizing the harm that I am causing. Once he had informed me of the pain I have caused him by shutting myself off to him. I had to step back and realize, I have some one amazing here and I need to realize it before I loose it and regret it. They always say you don't know you have a good thing until its gone, but I know what I have and there is no way Im letting him go.

There are many things that I am so grateful for, for instance my family and having a healthy son ad even the fact that I have a roof over my head. Life is so important to me, and I tend to realize that they're are people around the world that are not able to have the things that I am blessed with so to me I am honestly thankful for everything. From my refrigerator being filled with food to being able to take a hot shower. Or even just coming home to sit on my couch in peace and quiet. Im also very thankful for my family, they are my rock. Growing up my mother always taught to me to just be grateful for the life we are given. Because there's always someone who is less fortunate, life is not measured by the things you have but by the moments and the people you spend them with. Im also to have a great-grandfather that is still living and healthy even at the age of 91. Hes such an important person to me. Ive also mentioned it a lot but im grateful for my little three year old son.

I believe that as a mother, I can step back and relax and just enjoy my child being a child. Instead of worrying about the mess he's making I should sometimes just relax and let him enjoy himself. Many time I find myself getting frustrated, but then there's days that I just sit and do whatever he wants me to do with him and the excitement in his face explains it all. A busy mom isn't a fun mom. I think a fun mother is someone who acts like a kid once in awhile an have fun with the children. The appreciate it more and those are the memories that they can look back on and ones we can always remember.

 

My son

Kissing your soft face

Reaching down to hold your hand

Best part of my day

 

Winter

Naked lonely trees

Freezing howling chilly breeze

Beautiful winter

 

Spring

Flowers are blooming

Weather is getting warmer

Spirits are higher

 

Rain

The day is darker

The sky is opening up

The rain is falling

 

Love

Your smile makes me warm

Your laughter keeps me happy

No greater feeling
