Mom in the Shot {Feb 23 winning at life}

The other day I posted this picture on Instagram and Sophia, one of my mommy friends on there, commented:

"they win at life on a daily basis"

And that got me thinking.

Thinking about the fact that they got into a huge argument right after I took this picture, but that did not matter.

What mattered was the moments before, when they were winning at life.

Making it their own.

Living, breathing, souls of fun.

Yes we are not always so cheery, but the fun out weighs the grumps.

And to me thats what matters most.

That I am giving them the environment of safety to grow, learn, love, and laugh.

We live in a world that can turn serious so quickly.

They are not ready for that.

They need to be kids.

And dance...

And jump for the sky.

Cause it is limitless for them.

They need a childhood, one that will be looked back on with laughter and love.

And I work each and everyday to give that to them.

Yes there will be moments of darkness, but I will always be there to bring them out into the light.

And yes I will embarrass the hell out of them in the process, but I am ok with it...

Laughing is the best medicine and when you can laugh at yourself it is even better.

So here is to winning at life on a daily basis...
