When I was first diagnosed with infertility, I felt like my world had been shattered. I had always dreamed of being a mother, and the thought of not being able to conceive a child of my own was devastating.

We decided to try IVF, and after two rounds of treatment, I finally got pregnant. Our son was born in 2015, and he is the love of our lives.

After I had our son, I started running as a way to get back into shape. I had never been a runner before, but I quickly fell in love with the feeling of accomplishment I got from completing a run.

In 2017, I ran my first marathon. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done, but it was also one of the most rewarding. Crossing the finish line was an incredible feeling, and it made me realize that anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

Since then, I have run several more marathons, and I am even training for an ultramarathon. Running has helped me to become a stronger, more confident person. It has also helped me to appreciate the little things in life.

Being a mother is the most amazing experience in the world. It is also the most challenging. But it is all worth it when I see the smile on my son's face.

I am so grateful for the little things in life. The things that make me smile, the things that make me laugh, and the things that make me feel loved.

I am grateful for my husband, who has been by my side through thick and thin. I am grateful for my son, who brings me so much joy. And I am grateful for the opportunity to run, which has helped me to become a stronger, more confident person.

The little things in life are what make it all worthwhile.

Here are some of the little things that have made a big difference in my life:

• The smell of coffee in the morning
• The sound of my son's laughter
• The feeling of accomplishment after completing a run
• The support of my family and friends
• The beauty of nature
• The simple act of taking a deep breath

These are just a few of the little things that make me happy. What are the little things that make you happy?

I encourage you to take some time today to appreciate the little things in your life. The things that make you smile, the things that make you laugh, and the things that make you feel loved.

The little things are what make life worth living.
