I am currently a pessimistic gloomy ray of sunshine or lack of sunshine. Today our entire family went to Target. Partly to run some errands and partly to get me out of the house and out of my mood. Target always makes my day brighter, except for today. We went to get Christmas wrapping paper and I hated all of it. Hated might be too nice of a word. I despised it all. It made me want to cancel Christmas. I took myself too seriously. Find out how I am going to embrace my mood by lightening the emotion by focusing on finding the humor in my current attitude. Oh, and I decided not to cancel Christmas after all.

Being a mom is hard. Bring a little calm to the chaos and take a moment to fill up your own cup. It doesn't take long. Make a coffee, put the kids down for a nap, and tune in. Most importantly -- take a moment for yourself. Join Sarah every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for your daily encouragement.

Apparently, I have a lot of friends, according to my daughter. There are 19 of them and they are all in the First Grade. In a moment when I was feeling down and pessimistic, she wanted me to know I was not alone. How often do we, as moms, feel all alone? Being a mom is hard. It takes time and patience and sometimes we lose ourselves in the day-to-day, we get lost and wonder if we even have friends anymore. So now, more than ever is the time to reach out to each other. We need to take a moment to remind the moms around us that they aren’t alone. I may have 19 friends in the first grade, but I also have countless friends who, just like me, are in the middle of motherhood. I plan on finding a few moments to text them and let them know I am thinking about them. Join me and do the same. It takes a tribe to raise children, reach out to your tribe and remind them they don’t have to do this all alone.

If you ever visit my house for any length of time, you are likely to hear my daughter say “you are getting my goat.” While that phrase can often mean to irritate or upset someone, in our house we use it to describe someone teasing you. The joke has always been that my husband has a goat farm, that’s how many goats he gets. In fact, my husband has so many goats, my daughter announced the other day that she no longer has goats. If she doesn’t have goats, then he can’t get her goat. She now has unicorns and her dad can’t have them. Can she really just change the game like that? Can she make her goats into unicorns? What if we approached our own problems like that? What if we refused to play the game others forced us to play? What if we took the goats others gave us and turned them into unicorns?
