Celebrate

I have decided to begin using this space as a way to document my family's life. I'll start by sharing what I am choosing to make different about this new year. Someone I admire always chooses a word or phrase to focus on during the entire year to help her make the most of what she will do that year. I love this idea! After chewing on and spitting out most of the words, I have settled on the word 'Celebrate'. As I look around the world and all of the struggles that it's people are experiencing, I find that I need to celebrate each day that I have so many blessings:

- A hard-working husband
- An adorable daughter who finds delight in all of the little things
- A super flexible job that allows me to have some non-mommy time, but only when I want to
- A comfortable house
- The gospel
- Amazing friends and family

I often get bogged down in the mud of everyday life and begin focusing on what isn't going right. I will choose to celebrate each day this year and find gratitude in all that I have.
