I had in mind to make something else tonight, but I had a bad day today (hormones, Monday, you know the story), lots of frowning faces on my accountability chart, so I decided to make myself something to wear that would inspire me to be a better Momma tomorrow.
The pendant I made says on the back 'joyful mother', now how can I wear this and lie? Tomorrow is a new day and I get to start over and BE the joyful mother my babes deserve.
As I was writing this, my 2 year old woke up from sleep and wandered out to me. She said 'I want on your lap mommy'. How can I resist a sleepy cuddle. So now I am writing this with Laura heavy in my arms. She has already forgiven me for not being quite 'on' today.
Tomorrow really is a brand new day and I will wear this necklace with a full heart.

OK, I like this one even more! I love how you've put it on an angle and have dangled a bead from the pendant.
ReplyDeleteGet some good rest and have a GREAT day tomorrow!
Thank goodness for new days (and sleepy cuddles)! This is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love 2 year olds. I miss 2 year olds. Their love is more unconditional than a good dog!! I look at my big ol' boys that are 17 and 18 years old and I close my eyes and wish that I could put them up on my lap and rock.

OH, and... I love this new necklace. It feels sunny!
what an example of our Father's love for us...that we can wander out to him half asleep and be held.

ReplyDeleteShona you have created a lovely piece that is such a piece of your heart. Hang in there, perhaps there is something in the air I have had 3 days in a row that have been less than stellar....I know from your words you love being a Mother and you adore your children you are allowed to have those not so good days!!!!!
