Belong... this small little word is giving me much to think about today.

Like usual I checked Lisa-Jo's Five Minute Friday prompt early... and nothing came to mind... so when the baby cried and "to-do's" started flying my way, I walked away from the computer.

But...

Belong... it has stayed with me all day.

I do belong...


In this marriage - there are times when it seems more like a job than a date, but that never lasts long

In this family - they might overwhelm, interrupt and have more energy than one can possibly imagine, but they are mine...

In this house - it might not actually be mine (renting) but it's where I brought my babies home, it's where I've learned to clean out a sink drain all on my own, it's where I realized I grew up...

In this town - it might not be the most exciting or spectacular place, but it has many events that my little family loves...

In this time - I might not be sure of much at all, but I do know that I am supposed to be here, right now, simply because...

There are times when I don't feel secure... the work is overwhelming, or I'm feeling unable.  There are times when I wish for something completely different, simply because I don't want to be here!  But the thing is, at the end of the day, this is where I belong, these are the people I belong with and there are always smiles to remind me.
