I was in a really icky mood today. Have you ever been in one of those moods where even you just couldn’t stand yourself anymore [not to mention my poor family]? It was one of those.
I thought fresh air might help, but the battle between my mood and enjoying the day ensued just like sunrise in the early morning [that I so love], like the wind that frequents this hill I live on [frequenting my hair and tossing it about <3]. I started blaming my mood on things out there in the quiet.
I can’t blame it on my situation, though.
I can’t blame my nasty mood on the things I want.
I can’t blame it on the date on the calender.
I can’t blame it on anything except me choosing to let it take over.
I also realized out there, that I needed to fill my hands more with the things around my house. So, that’s what I did. I filled my hands with swimming with my sisters, taking in the sounds of my daddy making a table, spending more time talking with my mama, laughing a little more, and getting those precious baby (3 years old. Who am I kidding?) brothers of mine snack, after snack, after snack.
I want to always remember that full hands equal a full heart. What do you want to always remember?
I want to always remember that not everything has to be scheduled to the “T”. That I can slow everyone down and just enjoy being at home and not on the run!
Glad you and I both got our mood swings out of the way!
((hugs))
Doesn’t it feel so good to slow down?
What a great post. Such a good reminder.
Be blessed,

Thank you, Laura, but it was God who laid it on my heart.

I was in a “mood’ like that Monday as well as my mom and husband! Great reminder that it was my choice to be that way. Hmmm…I want to keep my hands full with memories of this summer. One of the best summers I’ve ever had!
I want to remember this summer, too. You and your family have added some sweet memories to mine.
Much love.
