My ten month old daughter has never been a good sleeper. All but a couple weeks of her life she has woken up every one to two hours during the night. Last weekend was particularly rough as she also began fighting going down for sleep for nearly two hours each night.
Yesterday during Project Joy, a monthly goal setting and vision boarding group I lead, we decided to make a vision board for Lydia. I joked that I would hang it above her crib so she could remember our goal of sleeping. When we got home I left it on the counter with my own.
Last night, for the first time in her life, my daughter slept seven straight hours! It was the most wonderful experience. I doubt it had anything to do with the vision board we created for her. More likely she slept because she was exhausted from the lack of sleep over the weekend. Either way this is one happy mama!
I'm grateful, so grateful, for a good nights sleep. I'm grateful for my daughter's cheerful, rested face this morning. I'm grateful for the hope of more nights like this. I'm grateful for my bed and pillow that have been there for me through this whole experience. I'm grateful how no matter how many times I have to leave they always welcome me back. I'm grateful for the energy I have waking after sleep though I know there is much more to catch up. I'm grateful for a sunny day to reflect my daughter and my sunny mood.
What do you want to envision for your life this month? How can you help create the success of this vision?
May the universe remind us we are supported in what we are trying to create. Have a beautiful day!
