Those moments:

When your son gives you cuddles and loves after not seeing you for nearly a week,

When you marvel at the colors of the leaves,

When you realize that you don't know where your carseat is so you can't leave the house and run errands like you planned,

When your husband texts "I love you" out of the blue,

When "owie!" becomes a new word in the vocabulary,

When you almost cry a little in the grocery store when you see that woman, and remember,

But do a secret happy dance when you come in under your grocery budget in that same trip,

When your sweet son secretly tries to sneak a little treat off the shelf,

That's when you know that through it all, life is good.
