Choosing Joy

I'm losing my patience today, or I should say losing what little was left of it. There are a whole string of complaints I could rattle off and list for pages. But I choose joy.

Yesterday was an unexpectedly beautiful day here, clear blue skies and warm sunshine. We spent the afternoon out in the backyard. We set up a ball pit tent, which Avery loved. Carter ran circles around all of us, and over us a few times. The dog oversaw the activities. It's so easy for me to overlook those blessings on days like today when life is generally filled with annoyances, but I'm holding on to that moment. And taking lot of deep breaths!
