I have been blessed with the ability to spend the summer with my girls for yet another year. We have been away ALOT in the past few weeks, which is why its’ been quiet around here. While I haven’t been getting alot of paid work done, I have been getting alot of parenting work done.

I must admint I have stressed out about not getting down to work. But today I was reminded what I often say to myself. They are only young once. If I don’t take the time to just BE with them now, I will never get this chance again. I will never get this time back. This gave me the gift of gratitude. A moment of thanks that I have had this time to be, to live with my girls, to play with my girls, to love my girls in the best way that I know how.

I don’t have many pictures. I have been living not documenting which tells me I have really been in the moment. It also reminds me to whip out that camera more often!

I am thankful for this holiday I’ve had with my girls. Thankful that I have been able watch them grow so closely, thankful that I have been gifted this time to play and enjoy them while they are young. How blessed O am to have this time. How blessed I am to have my family.

Tell me your blessings. What are you thankful for today?
