Glass half full

I must admit, I'm a kind of gal who sees the glass half empty. I'm pretty negative most of the time. It takes a real effort to be positive, it doesn't come natural to me I suppose. But I am working on that. It's time for a mental makeover. Yesterday was a trying day what with Ellie not wanting to sleep all day but wanting to be held and me having a headache and Jojo asking to be held (she says "hit you" she is trying to say hold you) and to top it off Douglas was so busy yesterday with his two jobs that I barely even spoke to him all day. One thing I did tell him was how my arms were so tired from holding either Ellie or Jojo or both all day long. Then when it was finally time to call it a day I snuggled next to my hubby and held him in my arms and I thought oh boy I'm holding again. But then a new thought came into my head. How blessed I am that I have a husband to hold. How sweet and precious it is to be able to hold both of my beautiful daughters. That my arms are filled with the ones that I truly love and mean most to me in the world. My small world in my two arms. So I thanked the Lord that my arms were sore and tired from holding the most precious people to me all day long. And now I must be off to go hold my babies again.
