Peace On My Pillow

Dear Gabriel,

Just waiting for your dad to get home from his day and I can hear you breathing deeply in your crib... just sleeping like a baby :-). It is about 11pm at night and the house is quiet. I can sit and just think for a moment. The thoughts that are coming to my mind are these 'Can I lay my head on my pillow with peace in my soul knowing I did my best today?'. I truly believe I can.

No, I didn't do everything perfectly... but I did everything that best I knew how. No, I didn't accomplish everything I wanted to... but everything I accomplished was done well. No, I didn't have an easy day... but I am better because of everything today. I can truly say I will have 'Peace On My Pillow'.

The world around me is a little better because I worked hard today. The world around me is brighter because I smiled at someone who needed it. The world around me has improved because I added value to many people's lives. Even though everything wasn't done perfectly... it was still done with peace and happiness in my soul.

I just might sleep like a baby with 'Peace On My Pillow'.

I love you,

Your Mom
