Sometimes in the busyness of life,

I don't appreciate the simple joys of motherhood

 and the reasons why I have the greatest job in the world are overlooked.

::adorable smiles

::sweet soft kisses

::the touch of a little tiny hand

::the smell of a baby's head

::a hug from a tall teen-ager

::a simple "thank you, mom"

::pitter patter of little feet

::a heartfelt child's prayer

::a little body sitting on my lap with all kinds of questions

::the thought from a little mind, that I do have all the answsers
::little leg creases (not on me!) :)
::chunky tiny fingers
::belly laughs
::a hug around the neck
::pure, genuine, unconditional love

And the realization that,

Someday,

I am going to miss this! 

Appreciate today,

the little things!
