True. Fulfillment.

(WARNING: Long, wordy post. Hey I don't do it that often.)

Am I the luckiest lady or what?

I have so many thoughts jumbled in my little brain.

I hope I can express them.

I have had several "moments" lately that have caused my heart to swell.

First of all...... I love track break! I love having my Isaac home!

I seriously LOVE being a mommy.

Every morning we find ourselves all in my bed.

We just lay there snuggling and laughing until were ready to start the day.

Every day I think, "I get another day with these amazing little creatures?"

Don't get me wrong. I have lots of moments where I feel frustrated and a little annoyed.

But I truly feel that my Father in Heaven is blessing me beyond my own capabilities.

He is allowing me to hold on to every minute and not want to rush ahead to when it is easier,

or when everything is better or perfect.

I get this little giddy feeling when my boys are playing super heroes or digging in the dirt,

or drawing together, or wrestling and giggling.

I feel this simple, sweet peace and am constantly reassured that THIS is what I was born to do.

THIS is true joy. And I don't want to miss any of it wishing for something else.

Two of my most fulfilling moments are what would seem menial chores.

The first is Mondays: Laundry Day.

It took me a while to realize why I felt so happy at the end of this day.

When I have spent the whole day (in between the other responsibilities)

doing 6 loads of laundry,

starting from all of it unsorted, to putting every single peace away.... folded neatly....

( This is a run on sentence.)

I feel this simple fulfillment, "I did all that in one day and my house is clean and in order,

and my family have clean clothes to wear."

Silly, I know.

Another menial chore is grinding my own wheat,( I recently got a Nutri Mill Grinder) and then making something

hearty and healthy right out of that freshly ground wheat!

I get excited just thinking about it! I know I am such a nerd!

John thinks I am crazy!

I can not describe the joy I feel when I fill my families bellies with pure nutrients.

Even sillier, I know.

But.... I am ever grateful for this ride called life!

And I want to enjoy every bump and curve along the way!
