Perspective

We are getting ready for a fun weekend with the Polaneks for Nina and Bill's wedding. It should be a lot of fun and since Henry is already a seasoned wedding attendee, I'm hoping he'll behave himself. I thought I would make a quick update because a lady said something to me yesterday that stuck. Henry was putting on the charm at the grocery store and this woman said "He is so beautiful, you must smile all day long". Now I have been thankful for every second that Henry has been in my and John's lives. He's been a great baby with a great attitude but this is a much tougher job than I ever imagined. Like most or maybe all moms, quite often I feel just exhausted, and I'm not even working another job right now! Anyway, that lady reminded me of something very important that I am going to continue to remind myself on those tough days or rather nights. I have never smiled more in my life than I do now. Everyday, throughout the day I have a reason to smile no matter how the day starts or how it ends, everywhere in between I am smiling at Henry. So thanks random grocery lady for pointing that out, I'm a lucky girl.
