When life throws you curveballs….

Today was one of those days where the universe decided to freestyle. I woke up with a solid plan for my blog and bam! Plot twist: life had other ideas. It was like dodging curveballs all day, and each hit made my day feel like a stack of let downs. I was ready to pull the plug on my birthday plans, crawl under the covers, and snooze away the disappointment.

I even hit a low point and thought, “What’s there to celebrate, anyway?” Felt like throwing in the towel.

But then… I was reminded to hit pause. In that stillness, and reminded what’s worth throwing confetti over.

My health.
My amazing kiddos.
Those cherished friendships.
A job that keeps the lights on.
A car that gets me where I need.
A brain that still functions.
And love…yep, the kind that wraps around you like a warm hug, even when you forget it’s there.

Sure, life loves to toss us off course, but sometimes those curveballs give us the clearest view of what’s truly important. So today, I’m gripping gratitude with both hands messy, but on purpose.

When you feel like quitting, like there’s zilch to celebrate…. who or what gives you that nudge, reminding you that you’re still amazing?

Because, believe me, you are. On the tough days. Especially on the tough days. 🩷
