We have been still trying to get things all settled into our new home AND get ready for a garage sale, so it has been crazy hectic. I haven't even been able to take the time to notice all the daily miracles I am surrounded by. So tonight I decided I need to find the daily miracles again. Because I know that it truly helps me focus on the good things in life.
Today was a crazy, stressful day with putting on a garage sale....but the wonderful thing about today was getting to spend it with my mom. We don't hang out as much any more because we have been so busy. So with her and I doing the garage sale together it meant I got to spend the entire day with her. I am so grateful for that. My mom is one of my best friends and I really need a best friend day.

Sparking a Memory
This past week has been rather stressful (which is why I haven't had the chance to write). Finally today we got all packed up in the van and headed home. After being gone for the week, I was looking forward to getting home to my own bed.
Still feeling stressed and overwhelmed from the week, I sort of grumpily sat in the passenger seat as we drove home. Part way into our trip, I looked up and noticed the butterfly hanging from the rear view mirror. It is always there, but because it has hung from my rear view mirror in any car I have had for the past 6 years, I have gotten used to it being there and tend to forget it is even there. But today I noticed it and it brought back good memories.
When my oldest daughter was 3, my sister-in-law had gotten all the nieces and nephews together (the ones that lived nearby) to help them make Mother's Day presents. This is what J made for me. It was my very first Mother's Day present. It meant the world to me and still does. Seeing it hanging there as a reminder of J's love for me just made my day
