Too often when we are on this journey called life, we are so focused on the ultimate outcome of various goals that we miss the beautiful progression along the way. The stepping-stones that lead us up the mountain to our dreams are what keep us going. They too must be celebrated.
With that said, I am so very grateful for progress. In just a few conversations this week I have received some much-needed knowledge that is one of the many stepping-stones along my journey. The information I received came in the natural flow of conversation with a friend and I love how those little inspirational nuggets pop up so organically. It seems that when you take a breather from trying to figure it all out, you make the most progress and I am so grateful for the wonderful progress I made this week. I look forward to continuing my journey with more breathes in between to allow more of the details to fill in naturally. I don’t have to have it all figured out now, and neither do you. Just be grateful for the wonderful flow and progress of life. It’s the flow that makes life so sweet.
In addition to being grateful for progress this week, I am also so very grateful for the journey of motherhood. While Mother’s Day is typically a time for appreciating the mothers in our lives, I find that it is also a time where mothers are grateful for having the incredible opportunity of mothering a child. I find that it is an incredible blessing that I don’t take for granted. Time flies when you are having fun and it seems that before you know it little ones are towering over you. Luckily enough my little one is far from towering over me, but he certainly is growing like a little weed. Knowing that time doesn’t exactly slow down, I am savoring the wonderful moments we have together now.
I hope you find many things to savor and be grateful for this weekend and a very Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there!
