Brad Paisley says something like "today was your first blank page in a 365 page book, hope you made it a good one!"
Why is it that January 1st always gives us reasons to make changes or start thinking differently? Don't get me wrong here, I am in love with change..... So I'm not sure why it is that I wait for a specific day to tune my brain station to the one that makes me feel a little better about myself & my life. It's like I have been given this brand new huge bucket of hope for the year- that it is going to be amazing! The fact is (& I really hate admitting it) I'm pretty sure I'm given that bucket every day if I just don't poor it out as soon as I wake up or hear a loud scream or cry or fighting....... Or something simply doesn't go perfect in my script. I could end each day with that same bucket too - it's my choice. Why do I so easily let the bucket tip over and pour out?
The boys tattle, complain, argue, whine, scream....... & with each of those I lose just a little something in me. But where are they tonight? Having a sleepover together in Lance's room! If anything poured out of my bucket today for some reason that moment of seeing them sleeping next to each other filled the bucket back up.
