Angry Birds

Happy Valentines Day!!! Wild start for the title I gave this post, I know, but as I was reflecting on family, my marriage, and motherhood I could not help myself I had to think about angry birds.

What is angry birds?!? Well you might know it is a highly addictive waste of time game and yet you know secretly you love to play it! Google it or warning do not if you value your time!!

Anyway what does this game have to do with my life or marriage OR yours for that matter? I think it is the underlying strategy of the game that makes me think about life.

In life I have found not everything is as it seems - don't go for the most obvious shot to win the game sometimes the less attractive harder shot is the one that takes down the entire structure giving you the three gold stars! Many times I could see myself taking the easy path in life but I never have I've stayed on the rocky road because I have faith that the road will lead me to a place worth all the hard work it took to get there and it has! Marriage and motherhood are defiantly two very amazing yet rocky roads which is something I could never live without therefore daily I try to work hard at being both a wife and a mother. I'm not sure I'll win the three gold stars but I'm working hard to get there with a lot of help from God because I pray often that I can be everything needed for everyone I love.

I must admit at times I've let the pigs or monkeys get me down in life but I've been flown over it all untouched through my belief of handing over the things I cannot change. Sometimes I've put on the angry bird face... mostly with the people in my life that I really care about because if I didn't care so much I wouldn't bother to be so upset or disappointed. Also I've been an angry bird when I think someone is trying to hurt those I love.

If I had to pick which bird I would be I would choose the bomb bird since sometimes I feel like I'm going to explode with ideas, anger, love, and in general I'm ticking all day plus night!!

The point is - love is worth working for and one day is NOT enough so try to show the ones you love that you love them more! That is a real New Years resolution that I am trying to accomplish this year and on!!!!

Much love to you and yours EVERYDAY!!!! :-)
