Children are the best!  They have a great attitude in life!  One of my boys every morning when he wakes up gives me a big smile, a kiss and a hug and as I say good morning and ask him how he is doing this morning, he answers, “better!"  

That is what I want to share with you today.  The attitude in which we see things can change our every day lives.  If this day is better than yesterday, we can never have a bad day! That is great motherhood advice.  As mothers, we might not have it all down yet, but, we might just be able to conquer our day if we have a great attitude about life.  

Children have a way to fill you with love and great surprises!  This morning as I contemplate their cute little faces I realize how blessed I am.  I have the opportunity to be around such great people full of light, forgiveness, compassion, understanding.  They are so teachable and humble.  They have many attributes we lack. I have the opportunity to share my life with the best of my friends!  We play together, we dance together, we learn together, we have meals together, we even have disagreements together!  Every step of the way is a great experience!  As I saw two of my boys hug and express their love for each other I realized how happy that makes me feel.  To see them become the best of friends and experience life challenges together to grow closer to each other . . . life will bring its challenges, but it is going to be better if you have a great friend to go along with you through them.  I believe that the joy a family brings into your life is irreplaceable.  

It is not easy to bring up a family but, it is totally worth the effort.  I know that when love abounds at home, life's burdens are lifted and you can go through anything together.

Today I just want to say that I'm thankful for the opportunity I have to belong to a family. In this life full of challenges I feel completely blessed. As I am surrounded by such wonderful friends who are first and foremost my family members. I go through life with my burdens shared, I feel loved, understood and cherished. I invite you to be thankful for this day!  Look for ways to make this day better than yesterday!  Live life to the fullest!  Enjoy your life and see what's around you that makes you feel fulfilled, loved and cherished.  Find true happiness in the little things. Live like you've never lived before!  Like the sun rises every morning, so our hope and dreams.  Have a wonderful day! Next time someone asks how you are doing you can honestly answer "better!"
