Small and Simple Things

"The real moment of success is the moment not apparent to the crowd"
George Bernard Shaw

I don't know about anybody else, but for me this quote helped me to find a new perspective. As a mother of young children, there are so many things we do on a daily basis yet feel like we never accomplish anything. This last week has been a little challenging for me lately because there was so much I wanted to do, but was able to accomplish very little of them. One night I was talking to my mom and expressing my frustrations when she told me, "You are a mother and taking care of your children is accomplishing a lot." Thanks mom for reminding me about the important things. Hence, the title of my blog "One Day at a Time." Often times I feel if I can keep a perspective on my life it helps things to be a little less overwhelming. One of my greatest accomplishments this week was teaching my 1 yr old, Brinley, to wink. It is so cute. Have a great day!!!
