Do Overs

I'm so glad that there are do overs in life! Like re-doing your blog when your sons tells you, "its really ugly, let me do it for you". Motherhood is so good for the ego. You can count on your kids to tell you the truth. But seriously, think about all the do overs we get each day by just getting up and doing laundry again, the dishes, again, the floors, again, standing on the bathroom scale- AGAIN, making breakfast, lunch, dinner, changing diapers, taking out the trash, buying gas, eating your favorite foods, again, yum, looking at pictures of all the people you love or not, kissing, hugging, praying, journal writing, reading, changing your clothes, hair, make-up, shaving your legs, again.... wow that list could go on forever. But it does cause us to run into that great list we all have, the gratitude list. I stand back and think how much I take so many things for granted. What if I couldn't have all those do-overs? I guess I need all those things to keep perspective of how much I am blessed. Especially for seeing and hearing smiles and laughter over and over again!
