Every now and then, I look back to see what Glen and I have accomplished in our lives so far. It's good for us the re-visit all our phases in our life together and appreciate all the great memories to this point. We're constantly busy these days and tend to lose focus on the basics stuff.
I remember Glen and I were so overwhelmed with the start of this phase in our life called.."Having 3 kids!" phase. Looking back, we thought...what are we doing? We're sleep deprived, there's no routine and life is just chaotic. But I think now...what has changed ;-) ? It's still chaotic and we really have no set routine...and all of a sudden, it's all clear to me...
It's simple, we (Glen and I) have changed. Our approach in our life and our kids have changed. Life is ALL good! Kids are healthy, they are good-good kids, well mannered, good grades and no major health issues...what else can we ask for. Granted, economy is tough...work is work and not too much alone time for Glen and I....BUT, we made it. It gets chaotic still and sometimes we're rushing around with our heads cut off but come on...think about it? What is so bad about that. Ya gotta keep positive and focus on the good energy level that we all have. Revisit the past and appreciate the changes. It's not always going to be the "perfect" routine or what we anticipated it "should be like"-we now just enjoy it for what it's worth each day and go with the flow. We make plans and if it doesn't turn out-oh well. If it's broken-we try to fix it. If we catch ourselves sulking or getting so upset, angry or frustrated...we talk about it- solid communication and we find a way that works for us. Glen and I take the lead and everything else will follow... hopefully in a good path that we provide (even it we take some detours along the way).
This is why it's all worth it...
