Today I am thankful for embracing the messiness. Every night when my kiddos finally go to bed,
I usually work on end of the day household task. Laundry.
Dishes. Picking up toys. Sweeping.
But today, I will just let it all be.
This last weekend when I visited my aunt, she mentioned that she is
trying to be more relaxed about things.
To be ok with things being a little messy sometimes. She told me that the other day she decided
not to make her bed. She said, “My mom
is not here to tell me what to do! I am
going to rebel!” This may not seem like
too big of a rebellion to you and me, but if you know the way my mother and her
brother and sisters were raised, not making your bed is a BIG deal. Nevertheless, I got the impression my aunts
rebellion was about a lot more than not making her bed. At least it meant more than that to me. She inspired me to let the messiness
happen. Not only in our homes but also
in our lives. Because sometimes when we
let the messiness happen, it allows time for other things to happen. Perhaps more important things.
So today, I am thankful for embracing the messiness.
