MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY: My perfectly imperfect life

SO, about my life...

My life is perfectly imperfect.

There are moments when I look on Facebook and get jealous when someone posts pics of their family...

They wake up every morning and cuddle with their kids...

They have romantic dates with their spouses every week.  

AND of course their sex life is amazing (I'm sure!!!)

They take trips to Disney

and their parents have shore houses.

You know who I'm talking about, right?

I may not have all the picture perfect things that many people have right now.  I would have NEVER have thought that I would be a single mom raising 2 kids in what I thought would be a "broken home".  There are many times when I think "this isn't how it's supposed to be."  But on most days, we are happy.  We have fun.  We enjoy life.

I don't get jealous when I see pictures of 'happy families' because I know everyone's life offers challenges.  People go on Facebook because it's fun-they want to see things that make them smile.  No one posts what's really happening behind closed doors because it's depressing....and that's o.k.

But we all have problems.

We get frustrated with our computers... 

We get frazzled often when our kids don't listen....

We all fight with our family members on occasion. 

BUT THE TRUTH IS...

I may not have the things that I dream of having one day but I will enjoy today...

We will swing on the railings...

Takes baths in the sink....

Lay in the grass...

Play in the mud....

Take too many selfies...

eat yummy treats for dinner...

But what I do know is that we have an ENORMOUS amount of love and a sense of humor.  We eat lemons..

We wear costumes to the dinner table... 

and we stop to smell the roses..

Finally, instead of feeling jealous when I see people with things that I want on Facebook, why not use that as motivation to have those things in MY life?  I'm fully aware that my life is what I make it so I'm going to make today awesome and create the life that I want! It all starts with me!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting my blog! 

I hope you have a great day!!
