MWW- Treasure what you have

Happy Wednesday!

My MWW post today was inspired from a trip to Pei Wei last Saturday night. As a disclaimer, I don't believe in karma or that the fortune in a fortune cookie is true and I never take them seriously- in fact Mike and I ALWAYS add "in bed" or "while naked" to the end of our fortunes for a good laugh. But, the fortunes from my fortune cookies (yes, I ate more than one!) last weekend had me thinking.
Here was my first one:

"A small gift can bring joy to the whole family."

Of course, my silly TTC brain start swirling into a cycle of self-pity... "a second child would bring us so much joy... why not now? why are so many others around me getting to add to the joy of their families, but not us?"  And then, in them midst of my wallowing, I opened another fortune cookie and got this one: 

"Treasure what you have"

                                              

Ouch! Thank you Lord for that sweet reminder to be content in my moment of weakness. So, that's my piece of wisdom for the day- treasure what you have! Here's how I am treasuring my sweet MK: 

We are dancing in the rain! 

We are smiling in the closet while keeping safe during the storm

We are playing together, even at the doctors office- this was my first time taking MK to a doctor appointment for me, and it was hard! 

We are cuddling when MK's not feeling well. 

We are celebrating new milestones- sleeping in her big girl bed for the first time! It was short lived because I was so worried about her all night and couldn't sleep... Maddie was ready, but mommy was not! 

 Although my heart still desires to add to our family and we are still trying, I am trying to be content in the here and now. I am trying to be ok with this waiting, treasuring my time with Maddison.

I hope you can treasure what you have today!
Love,
