Why today is a success

It is 11:22 in the morning and I already know that when I am lying in bed and about to fall asleep I will be at peace because I was successful today.

1.Fell asleep cuddled with Chloe on the bed
2.I made the bed
3.My kitchen table is back to normal from family dinner last night.

I'm not running around putting all the dishes in the cupboard or back in their boxes. I'm not stressing about the fact that our bathroom reeks of mold. I am not crawling behind Chloe picking up everything she discards and I am not putting on my makeup. But I have accomplished something bigger.

I wont think about everything else I have to clean because that one spot and my kitchen table look good. I have areas of peace.

I may be sick, I may be tired, I may be missing my husband today, but I am keeping grounded and celebrating the victories I have won. Because at the end of this day, this is what matters:
