If I haven’t expressed how grateful I am for each and every day. Let me say it again today.
I appreciate the simple things. I am truly happy for down time to soak in all the miracles going on around me.
My children are FULL of joy. Full of wonder. Full of questions and inquisitive personalities. They’re also full of chaos. Whining. Bickering. Screaming. Fighting. Pushing. Pulling. Teaching. Helping. Showing. and Learning how to act differently when something frusterating comes at them. Practice is DAILY. We repeat and then repeat some more. Moments like this though make me freeze and just take it all in. The music is playing. They are all happy. They are all sharing. They are dancing. They are singing. They are OVERFLOWING with JOY. And it’s contagious. And I love it. Today was my perfectly imperfect, gloriously messy, and happily chaotic little world.
Do you ever have a moment when all is right with the world?
A private tea party for two,
A tender conversation between a girl and her dog,
A couchful of every single person you love, happily smushed against you.
…
In that moment, all is right with the world.
No fighting, no whining, no chaos—just peace.
No deadlines, no distractions, no demands—just freedom.
No yesterday, no tomorrow, no long-term agenda—just now.
No failings, no criticism, no guilt—just love.
In that moment, all is right with the world.
These moments are brief … they are rare … they can be easily missed. Believe me, I know. But I’m trying not to let them pass me by.
This is how:
Take pause in the busyness of your day—even a moment or two will do. And for a moment, pay attention. Notice. Listen. Stop. Breathe.
There’s a good chance you will catch one:
That moment when all is right in your perfectly imperfect, gloriously messy, and happily chaotic little world.
Peace, love, freedom, and joy right there at your fingertips.
The best moments of life are forever yours when you stop to take them in.

Living at a slower pace is something many of us want to do, but it’s easier than it sounds, right? I’ve learned to incorporate moments of pause throughout my day. Whether it’s a moment to connect with people I love, nature, or my own thoughts, those moments refuel me and help me focus on what matters. Wishing you a moment of pause in your perfectly imperfect world today!
