Moment of honesty: I'm tired. I can't remember the last time I got a really decent night's sleep. It seems there's always something to interfere--a late night, sick kids, baby kicking, or just no comfortable position for sleep with a watermelon for a belly. Whatever energy I start the morning with is gone by noon, and I feel like I am just dragging through the rest of the day. But one little incident this evening showed me how far a little bit of appreciation can go to lighten our load and brighten the day! Esther was sitting on my lap at dinner time so I could help her eat; in between two bites of spaghetti she turned her sauce-covered face to me and said "Thank you mom, for giving me food."
Suddenly I felt a lot happier and not nearly so tired.

That is so sweet, Paula! I really like the beautiful swans at the top of your blog.
My brother took the swan picture. I need him around more often--I'm not much of a photographer!
Amen. I was having a really hard day a while back and Kaia suddenly said, "You're a good Mom." Completely changed my attitude and my day.
