Gratitude Makes Way For Happiness

The year is almost coming to a close and I'm leaving 2018 with a grateful heart. So much has happened in this crazy year and I'm grateful for it all. The biggest thing being the birth of my daughter which has change my life so dramatically. I always heard having a baby is such a life changing experience but until I actually experienced it I didn't really understand that saying. I view the world differently, I've learned things about myself I didn't know I had in me and I've learned how to adjust to things and curve balls life throws at me. 

If you've notice I haven't been posting as often as I use to on the blog and that was such a hard adjustment to get use to. It's hard to balance being a wife, taking care of another human being that depends on you, work especially when you don't have regular 9-5 hours and also take care of myself in the process. I've had many days where I just cry from frustration in trying to figure how to do it all and the reality is that you can't I'm slowly starting to understand that. I've started to view things with gratitude and I think that's helped me a little. I've realized I can't be superwomen and I also need to practice more self-care because I'm no good to anyone if I don't take care of myself. Things will get done when they get done. My life or time is not the same as before and will never be so I need to adjust and be ok with those adjustments.

I'm grateful I get to take care of the best little person ever, I'm grateful I get to be a wife to an awesome husband I'm grateful for the never ending to-do list, I'm grateful for the amount of work I have even when I can't balance it. I'm grateful for it ALL! It sounds crazy but it makes sense in my head. I truly believe gratitude makes way for happiness. It takes me a while to adjust to change and I'm glad I'm finally at this point where I've accepted the big changes in my life and have learned how to mange this with gratitude when they get hard.
