English term or phrase: blessed blur
Each exhausting day morphed and bled into the next one.
I remember noise, tears, laughter, laundry, kisses, messes, homework,
meals, fights, and cuddles. Looking back, I refer to that crazy, chaotic time as the
blessed blur. Now I see the beautiful curves that I missed in the
tension of exhaustion and highly charged moments.

sombra(s)abençoada(s)


Explanation:
Considerando que "Blur" tem também significado de obscuro, e fazendo um paralelo das coisas boas que aconteceram como "luz" e "sombras" relacionados aos momentos tristes e difíceis, acho que neste contexto daria certo esta sugestão.

No contexto parece claro que a pessoa se dá conta que os momentos difíceis "sombras" foram também importantes no seu caminho
