Lucky for me, my children sleep in. I have come to love these mornings as a stay-at-home mother. Not because my kids are too much or they drive me crazy, but because I have found out how to use this time to focus myself and be a better mom for them. My mornings are used for journaling, using the computer, exercising, reading, getting ahead on cleaning, researching clothing or home decor inspirations, drinking coffee and connecting with God. When I start the day on this high, I have a great appreciation for my life and all of the blessings I am surrounded with. I have time to be alone with my thoughts, goals and God. I reflect on the woman I want to be and the children I hope to raise. I think about how to be a better wife and I make a conscious effort everyday at this time to live that day full of appreciation and optimism. This makes all the difference in every person I encounter, negative energy or daily stress I come across. I believe the only thing controlling a person's attitude is themselves.
