Real Mom-Life Moment

My front window is forever smudged with fingerprints because the kids *love* looking out at the squirrels and birds playing in our yard, the cars (broom-brooms) driving by, and at the farm across the road (trust me, when you’re 1, the cows are highly entertaining).​

I clean it (occasionally; have I mentioned the 3 kids?)… but it never stays clean for long.  Even though the “circumstances” aren’t perfect I still enjoy looking through it… and appreciating the view outside (like this beautiful sunrise).  What a missed opportunity it would be to only see the smudges (and yes, I know there are a lot of them).

Today, I invite you to look past your circumstances to appreciate the beauty around you - whatever that looks like for you… your family, friends, health, anything, even your actual view.

Leave me a comment & share what you’re grateful for, even if there is a *smudge*… maybe more importantly, because there IS a smudge - all the more reason to find the beauty.
