Since my last post we have acquired a new puppy. Even though she is adorable and we love her tremendously I have to wonder, WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!! As if a 5 year old, 4 year old, and 8 month old were not enough, I just had to have that sweet little stray from the animal rescue. That little puppy is taking a tremendous amount of energy and time.
One of our daily chores for the puppy is an afternoon walk. Most afternoons Sarah Grace, Tyler, Brayden, Mazie Rose (the puppy), and I head out for a quick stroll around the neighborhood. As we are walking we pass by a house whose yard could really use some TLC. Suddenly Sarah Grace stops, gasps, and says, “Mom look at all those beautiful flowers!" I have no idea what she is talking about because all I see is a yard full of those little purple weeds so I replied, “Sweetie those are not flowers, they are weeds." She looks at me as though I have lost my mind and says, “Mom, that yard is not full of weeds it is a field of pretty purple flowers!" As we continue our walk it occurs to me that maybe I need to begin looking at life as a beautiful field of wild flowers instead of a yard full of weeds. Leave it to my 5 year old to give me a change in perspective!
