A New Feeling

Something that is new to me since Reagan was born is a feeling of overwhelming happiness each and every day. No matter what is still going on around me, whether it be family drama, which we have plenty of at the moment, the sense of things crashing down around me, work issues or even just the stress of getting everything accomplished in the short time span of the day. BR..before Reagan..I would let these things make or break my day...each day. Has hard as I tried not to, they consumed my ability to feel happy with my overall life.
Since Rea arrived that has all changed. No matter how much "baggage" that follows me each day it just doesn't matter. I look at that sweet face and am so happy I could burst! If something is getting me down, the instant I pick her up from daycare it leaves my mind and I'm completely infatuated with our baby. I refuse to spend time worrying about things I cannot change and waste precious time that I could be enjoying and spending with my wonderful husband and sweet sweet girl. So here's my pledge...
-I will stop, or try to stop, worrying about the things in this life that I cannot change.
-I will let HIM guide me through each day and know that HE is always there for me and my family.
-I will do my best to live in each day and not consume my mind with "what might happen"
-I will stop letting my heart break over things I cant control
and
-I will spend all that "B.R. wasted worry energy" on loving Chad and Reagan and making my little family as happy as can be. Because at the end of the day...that's all that matters.

Hope everyone has a fantastic day and share with me your new "life pledge" if you dare!!

XOXO-

My World!
