One of the things I am so grateful for is that each day is a clean slate. It's not to say that I always wake up refreshed and not feeling anything leftover from the day before, but every day is a new opportunity to make it a great day. I don't love one bit how yesterday ended, but today is a new day.
One of the routines that Thomas and I have established is the morning bus ride. He gets on the bus, and as it pulls away I begin walking back to our house. Because he gets on at the corner, when the bus turns the corner he is actually sitting on the side of the bus where I can see him. Even though his bus is getting farther away and I am walking back towards our house, we both wave and wave at each other until we can't see the other one any more. As simple as it sounds, I am so grateful for that moment each morning and sometimes it brings me to tears. My little guy is about to be finished with elementary school and move into the preteen world of middle school, but he still loves sharing that moment with me each day. It absolutely makes my heart full, and is a blessing I never fail to recognize!
