trust and believe

TRUST and BELIEVE
         I finally got around to posting....
You can learn a lot from kids. 
I came in the door from my marathon with a house full of people, kids laughing and screaming and even a new little dog the neighbors got a couple days ago.  I was starving, tired and walked like I had a load in my pants, my legs were toast from yesterday's LA marathon. I just took a moment and smiled:) I am one hell of a lucky women! And to top it off I expressed how I was starving and my husband made me some mean fish tacos ready for me when I walked in the door, what a treat! I have a hard time wrapping my head around my life at times, I told my husband.... Yesterday I was on the streets of LA racing and I come home to all these awesome friends and kids running around in the sun all happy. Pure focus one day to awesome utter chaos the next!

My kids get pretty excited about Every holiday, once one is over they ask what one is next... That seems to dictate what the craft of the month will be, what they draw, write about and the games they play, and even the color of there food.  Today is st. Patricks day, most people are out getting rowdy and drinking, been there done that. now I can't even deal with a mild hangover while running this mother ship. I know lame but, it has a new meaning now. My kids wake up super pumped! Did the lepracun come? They search because,I started turning the toilet water green, putting a gold coin under there pillow, shamrocks on there pancakes and trashing and hanging underwear all over there room. Riley came home in a full sprint off the bus to see what the lepracun did. Reese was screaming from her bathroom the toilet was green. The excitement and what kids believe in is incredible!  To think a little man with pointy shoes and red beard and big black buckle came into our house and did this blows my mind! 
Kids TRUST and BELIEVE! These are 2 things that everyday I am trying to work on in my running.  

There are different chapters in life and different doors that open along the way and these I have realized is what makes your story and follows you... So thanks kiddos for teaching me to enjoy the moments and experiences both Good and bad, Believe and Trust even if it seems a little crazy.
