Spring Ahead!

I sit here, grateful for the weeks my family had as we adventured westward and stayed in beautiful places, including Mother Earth Hogan, located near Monument Valley in southern Utah. There was a peacefulness to driving from one state or national park to another, sitting in the car, knowing there was no other place we needed to be than where we were. Being in the car meant settling in, passing out snacks and drinks, reading, napping, tending to my children, and often times mediating their quarrels. It meant just being, moving forward towards our next destination. While we were excited and often times ready to get out of the minivan, we couldn't hurry the process. We had to just keep the pace, adjust our expectations when traffic slowed and be okay with where we were in the journey. 

Does that sound familiar? 

Often times in motherhood, I find that I "keep on keeping on", adjust to the changes and accept where I am in this season of mothering my children. Some days are more challenging than others, but it really comes back to the idea that I have to just be where I am. 

What about you? What helps you in journey in motherhood?
