enough.

Shirt: J.Crew Factory. Jeans: Nordstrom. Bag: Michael Kors. Sunglasses: Kate Spade. Necklace: similar here.

I bought this shirt two years ago and it’s been a favorite ever since.  Every time I wear it people ask where I got it, and I’m so sad to tell them it long ago sold out, except right now, it’s back in stock!  I just thought I’d pass that along, because if you buy one shirt this summer, this should be it.  Also, I feel like it should be noted that this is my go-to momiform this time of year.  Jeans (skinny or boyfriend), a great short-sleeved top, and pretty flats.

Okay.

So here’s the skinny.  I usually wake up on Mondays with the world’s worst anxiety, (don’t ask me why, I don’t know) and it’s not just a case of the Monday blues, it’s so much worse than that.  Anyway, when I woke up this morning, nothing.  Just happy, excited, ready to face a great week.  I’m pretty sure it has something to do with being showered with love for Mother’s day yesterday, and also getting a guilt-free two hour nap??  It’s made me stop and think about being more intentional with my time and my life basically.

Yesterday completely filled up my well.  I don’t feel guilty on Mother’s day.  I don’t think I’m a perfect mom and there is so much I want to do better, but I don’t fee guilty.  I feel grateful.  And when my family wants to treat me like a queen for a day, I let them, because I love naps and I like getting presents (who doesn’t) and I love watching them serve someone with love.  Even if that someone is me.  And intentionally resting and spending quality time with the people I love most, having a long conversation with my mom, reading a little, really reset me for the new week.  I often wake up Monday morning and feel like I’m already behind.  I’m not actually behind at all, I just feel like I am.

But today, I feel happy, rested and like I am enough.

I hope you have the same feelings.  That’s what I remember on Mother’s day every year.  When I stop and look at how well I’m doing with my kids even though most days I have at least one major #momfail I realize that my less-than-perfect effort is enough.  And I think that’s the whole point of all of this.  Everything that God wants us to learn here.  Do your best, and He’ll make it enough.

Happy Monday everyone!
