it's all in how you look at it.

When you feel over-committed and squeezed, make lemonade.

When your to-do list is a mile long, have a cookie.

When the tulips are tired and dropping their petals, take their photo.

When you return home at noon and your bed still looks like this, don't bother to make it - only ten hours 'til bedtime.

When you feel like you're walking in someone else's shoes, choose clown shoes.

When you attempt to sew another smock and make the EXACT SAME mistake again, get a seam ripper.

When you want to sew but have no time, take a moment to stare at your fabric (heck, go ahead and snap a photo.)

When you come home from the gym and need to take a shower and brush your hair but your daughter needs you NOW, take a self portrait in the mud room mirror.  (this is the first photo i've taken of myself without any makeup or lipstick on in years.)

Enjoy your Monday!

Thanks for this post, it is a good reminder to not let ourselves get focused on the negative, but to remember all the ways that we can find some joy. You look gorgeous without makeup BTW.
