"Constants......"

I know that we all have "constants" in our life. Things that are ALWAYS there. Some of these "constants" are good, some of these "constants" we could live with or live without and some of these "constants" we wish would go away and never be seen or heard from again. I also have some "constants" in my life that get on my nerves one minute and then I stop and realize that these certain "constants" are really little reminders of how lucky of a person I am.

1. I am constantly doing laundry..... but that is ok....it reminds me of how lucky and blessed I am to have my family.

2. I am constantly buying milk...... but that is ok ..... because it reminds me that my family is not stuck on drinking sodas all the time.

3. I am constantly putting gas in my suburban..... but that is ok.... because it reminds me that I am lucky enough to be able to go back and forth to many practices and spend my weekends at their ball games.

4. I am constantly tired...... but that is ok ..... because it reminds me that I am blessed to be healthy and have the ability to get out of bed everyday and go to a job that I dearly love.

5. I am constantly picking up Loren's socks and taking them to the laundry room..... but that is ok..... because it reminds me that he is here with me and I know there is no place he would rather be.

6. I am constantly creeping on my niece's, nephew's and nephew-in-law's facebook pages because they are not around anymore as much as I want them to be.... but that is ok..... it reminds me of all of the memories I have of them that I will never let go of.

7. I am constantly hugging and kissing my babies.... but that is ok.... it reminds me of how quickly they will be gone and I cannot hardly stand the thought of that.


8. I am constantly missing my Daddy..... but that is ok..... or at least for the moment it is..... because it reminds me that I was so deeply blessed to be the daughter of Muriel Cooper and I am anxiously awaiting the day to get to talk to him again.

9. I am constanly in awe of my Momma..... she is the strongest, kindest person that I know.

10. I am constantly reminded that life is too short to spend criticizing others. You should be happy with who they are.... not who you want them to be because you just might end up without them.
