Yesterday I took Jacob and Sarah to see the Christmas lights at Texas Motor Speedway. It was so enjoyable to have some time focused just on them. They were so excited and delighted by all of the lights! Their excitement and joy was contagious--and the experience was almost magical for me.
Sometimes, I think I almost feel a sense of duty to be stressed out. When life is full of challenges, unresolved problems, expectations, lists and laundry I struggle to even allow myself the freedom to be happy. This Christmas I have decided to CHOOSE happiness. Some of the happiest people I have ever met live in very difficult circumstances. Yet, they seem to have the ability to choose happiness--and brighten the lives of everyone around them. That is my goal this Christmas. This precious experience with my sweet babies will be my reminder!😃
