That Bump In My Heart

Emerson walks downstairs with a dry night-time diaper and is so incredibly proud of himself.

Gus doing his best to be funny and make me laugh, clearly needing some love and approval.

Rosie looks up at me from her journey crawling around the living room and her eyes instantly crinkle with her biggest smile.

Guin sits next to me on the couch, reading a complete book without any prompting from me.

These little moments when that love just takes over my heart. When I feel awe and wonder that We made that thing. Isn’t it incredible?

Allowing these moments to make an imprint on my mind. To just sit in the now and breathe it in. To be grateful.

The more that I give attention to times like these, the more my mind searches for them. Throughout the day I find myself looking for those small things that I’m grateful for. I notice that when I get upset I’m quicker to get out of my rut and back on track.

Do you have a gratitude practice? Every day for one week, try writing down three things that you are grateful for and why. It doesn’t have to be long, but you have to truly feel grateful for them.

Notice the difference it brings to your day.
