On the good nights when I beat myself at my own game of anxiety, I lay in bed and all of the amazing things I’m most grateful for cycle through my brain like rapid fire.... this handsome man beside me who chose me & brings out the best in everyone he meets; my gorgeous, smart + kind kiddos who continue to shock even me with their inate goodness; the roof over my head & my backyard twinkling lights; the food in my home & our shared love for family cooking shows & baking desserts that look silly but taste like heaven; the gorgeous morning skies & sunsets each day I watch atop my neighborhood hill; driving my kiddos to and from sports and activities they love; the cozy sheets I’m tucked into in a quiet home where little heartbeats are snoring away...
It is not lost on me that I have so much to be thankful for or how hard I’ve worked in life to earn it and achieve it. But, I forget often to take in these quiet moments and just reflect on the good things that make all of the worrying seem trivial and reminds me to just breathe and feel gratitude in even the most anxious moments :)
