Something worth Celebrating!

Well, as it happens to most families with young children that start school, our family got the sick bug. We've all had it but Ritter is the OG, the one who contacted the cold and shared it with the rest of us. I started feeling bad Friday and am finally feeling better, almost like my normal self, TODAY! So, I celebrate! Seriously, why not? I am a working mom! I'm running an entire household and I've been sick! That is NO FUN! Like, none. And, sidenote, I think mom's shouldn't be allowed to get sick. Just sayin'.

I celebrate because I have felt terrible the last few days (and, as most moms do, felt terrible that I felt terrible- which is annoying- why do we do that?!) and NOW- FINALLY- I'm feeling better! Good enough to refocus on my schedule, goals and recognize all that I can accomplish! Yes! I celebrate. 

But why do I share this with you? Well, because I feel like, as women, we mostly are getting on to ourselves, putting ourselves down, feeling guilty for what we can't get done, etc. etc... the list goes on. We don't celebrate ourselves enough and we certainly don't praise ourselves enough! 

So, my challenge? Today- celebrate YOU. Yes, you. Celebrate the bumps and bruises. The imperfections. The wrinkles. The stuffy nose. The sleepy eyes, the imperfect hair, the chipping nails, the energy you have that pushes you to go further, your drive, your smile, your quirks! Celebrate it all! Because you are you. Perfectly made. Different from the others. All the characteristics that make you up- make you unique and beautiful. So, today, celebrate you! And smile- you are who you are meant to be.
