Pressed reset this morning or last night rather when I forced myself to go to bed early instead of burning the midnight oil (again). Woke up earlier than normal and this day has been fantastic as a result.

Yesterday we played at the farm. I planted some tomatoes and green beans just in time for today’s rain. These little things like the salamander I unearthed center me and make me grateful for all I’ve been given.

(edit)

Green smoothie recipe b/c it’s a main food group for us these days.

Tristan has recently taken an interest in photography. I reluctantly handed him my Canon the other day (after much begging) to find that evening many wonderful images through his eyes. Beautiful what our children can teach us, huh? Love that little man.

Learn.

This week I’ve…

Looked at the world upside down / learned to change the oil + filter in my rig (transmission fluid too *long story) learned how to brew kombucha / faced more than one really big fear / went for a run in the cold that didn’t end in spitting up blood. a first (hydrated!)

Grateful.

These days. This morning.

*something about mornings lately.

Gracious gift from god that I’ve somehow learned to see the good in them. Mornings have always been the hardest part of my day. Something about waking up alone, not having anyone to say “you got this babe”. Not that anyone has ever said that to me… I just imagine life would be so different if you had support. Someone to run this race with. Fact is life is hard. Being on 24/7 for toddlers is HARD. Amaze but hard. Beautiful but hard.

So here’s to the beauty in these mornings I’ve grown to love. To a life that’s not perfect but a race that’s worth running. For myself for my boys and for my father.
