Merry-go-round

The past month has felt like a crazy merry go round ride, just a constant blurry circle of tasks, appointments, and work.  At times I really feel like I am being pulled in so many directions, and being ask to do so many different rolls, but yet, the feeling of accomplishment is no where to be found.  This week I did conquer a small hill, but when I got to the top of it, I saw the mountain range that was out of sight while focusing on the task at hand.  As I continue to climb on, determined to accomplish all that is in my sights, there is a little bit of happiness along the way that keeps me going.  My two year old son and I attended the circus this Friday night, his first time and I had not been in years.  He was so happy and was enjoying himself so much, that he occasionally turned around and gave me a hug and a kiss, then went back to enjoying the show.  It was a small thank you that I didn't see coming, and that he had never done.  It made running out of work early and scrambling to get him feed and there on time, all worth it.  No matter what is going on in my little world, my two year old always knows how to remind me of what is important.  I know this is all just life, but sometimes the dizzy ride wears me out.
