Today I changed two diapers before the sun came up.
Measured out ibuprofen for a teething toddler before the sun came up.
Opened the blinds with a lightsaber before the sun came up.
Started loads of laundry and dishes before the sun came up.
My coffee started getting cold before the sun came up.
Stepped over a rainbow tower before the sun came up.
Soothed two sweet babies before the sun came up.
Kissed my hubby off to work before the sun came up.
Saw sleepy smiles and bouncing grins before the sun came up.
Played trains and cars and planes before the sun came up.
Listened to baby talk before the sun came up.
Had a dance off in the kitchen with my happy footed toddler before the sun came up.
My heart was already bursting with happiness before the sun came up.
The days are long but the years are short. I can’t stress this enough. No matter what time your day starts and ends, it can be exhausting. But remember to find the joy in those moments. The blessings through the sleepy eyes. And the coffee in the kitchen. Even if it’s cold.
