If you miss the JOY you miss it all!

Motherhood has been the hardest and most rewarding job I have ever had. My children definitely keep me busy and filled with worry.  However, I have never experience more JOY than becoming a mother.  I love these three little ones, and look forward to watching them grow up and find their own paths. 

 “Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you're not sure what the right thing is...and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong.”
― Donna Ball, At Home on Ladybug Farm

"If you miss the JOY you miss it all".  So I continue to find JOY in the journey, even though I am sure I am doing many things wrong.  But with that I know if I don't enJOY these moments I will miss it!  

"You're gonna miss this. You're gonna want this back.  You're gonna wish these days hadn't gone by so fast. These are some good times. So take a good look around. You may not know it now but you're gonna miss this". -Trace Adkins  

So although, it may be hard at times, I do feel the reward and I continue to feel the JOY everyday!
