Mediocrity

Do you ever get the feeling that you're "mediocre?"

Like you're just cruising along in life, not attempting to do any better, and quite happy that you aren't "as bad as that other person?"

I did last night...and then I talked to my Dear Sweet Hubby, who somehow knows what to say when I am in one of my crazy thoughtful moods.

And now, I realize, I'm not mediocre. Everyday I strive to be a better Mommy. A better Wife. I'm strive to homeschool my little guy to the best of my abilities. I'm on a major kick to feed healthy food to my family. And I even have that little apartment blog that I mostly keep up with. :)

I'm not mediocre. :)

I dream of owning a home, but finally realize that slacking off or killing ourselves to save money isn't going to get us there...it's a slow and steady kind of thing.

I look forward to someday having more children, if God blesses us with another, but I'm realizing that I just need to enjoy the moment, because more children isn't a guarantee.

I can see that every minute of every day is a learning experience...whether it be from the patience I learn when my LBB decides to throw all the magnetic letters off the fridge, or the ability to love (which I'm taught daily...I am a girl surrounded by love.)

I know that I could be doing a lot better with my faith, and I am constantly striving to improve.

All in all, none of that makes me a mediocre person. It makes me a woman who knows what she wants, knows what she has, and is finally content enough to enjoy the moment I am in.

It's a pretty good feeling to know that you're not mediocre. God made each one of so special in our way, and if we are utilizing the talents He has blessed us with, then we are far from mediocre.

So, "shine on." :) Embrace each day for what it is worth, and make each moment something special. Because that, my dear friends, is what makes life so exciting.
