It’s Friday! Some of you are exhausted, burnt out, and can’t wait to get off of work and start your weekend! I know how you feel!
I went to bed last night mentally, physically, and emotionally exhausted. It had been a long day. But today is a new day, a great day!
Today is the first day of spring and the day of international happiness! I looked out this morning at my tulips which are about 4 inches tall. A sign of new life and growth.
Tulips are my favorite flowers. They signify happiness to me. They’re beautiful, fragile, and vibrant.
This morning when I was writing out my to-do list (which I do every morning) I was inspired to do a “different” kind of to-do list. This one is more important. I hope at the end of today I will be able to say I did each one!
Life is more than crossing random tasks off of a list. It’s about growing as a person, having a purpose, family, God, doing your best, loving others, friends, feeling emotions, and experiencing life.
It’s more than if you have a clean kitchen counter or a clean shower. It’s about playing tag with your kids, having coffee with your husband, putting away the cell phones, and laughing with a friend. It’s about being concerned about others, loving others and enjoying the happiness that life can bring.
How about you? What’s on your to-do list today? Are you choosing a life with happiness?

Yes, it’s so easy to get caught up in the work and to-do’s and miss the most important things. I did have a pretty successful day as far as getting actual work done, but the house is still not totally cleaned because I decided to stop and just take time for the most important things- my husband and 3 precious kiddos. I’m sure I’ll have regrets looking back on these years, but I really want to try to live intentionally now, so that they are few!
