Stressor or Stress Reliever?!

Spring is upon us and as I woke up today I got the itch to begin my spring cleaning....

Some of my friends might not understand the difference between spring cleaning and regular cleaning..

Well to sum it up quickly SPRING cleaning is cleaning each and every corner of your house, reorganizing everything, etc. Today I have even scrubbed the tracks of my sliding glass door... Some might think that is excessive, I think I need a special tool to make sure there isn't a spec of grim left in that bad boy. 

I believe I have spring cleaning fever so badly that I am about to break the paint out and touch up where my loves have colored or placed a muddy hand trying to take off their rain boots. 

When my spring cleaning is done my house feels airy, fresh and ready for BBQs, get togethers and family time. Some might look at spring cleaning as that thing to check off their to do list and find it stressful and some look at it as "I CAN'T WAIT TO CHECK OFF SPRING CLEANING FROM MY LIST!!!!" those find it distresses them... 

What does spring cleaning mean to you? Is it your stressor or your stress reliever?

Grateful > Oblivious

My whole life I have witnessed myself and others getting to a point where they loose what they love and cherish because they didn't know what they had at the time and how special it was. I have done this many times when it came to friends, boyfriends, jobs and anything in life.
I believe everyone has lost something they did cherish and didn't realize how much they cherished it, until it was gone....
I feel I take so much for granted, things we don't even think is a big deal, for example, running water, or heat (or AC for my friends in warmer areas) in our homes. Lately I have been thinking about all the little things that if were to go away would be a drastic change in my family and I's life.
I also think of how lucky and blessed I am to have my sweet little girls and supportive husband. Sometimes it's hard if you are fighting or the girls are acting up but at the end of the day I wouldn't change my life the slightest, I am the happiest I have ever been.

Sometimes it takes loosing things to realize what we once had but I am stopping that from recurring in my life and being grateful for even the little things.
