PS. I'm trying some new focus on my photos..attention to detail. It worked very well on today's post. :o)
I really needed to read Active Satisfaction today. You know, I constantly struggle in this mothering job. I do crave myself back. I really do. It is such a challenge at times to let it go, and be happy with the little pieces that are still me, and getting them in when I can. I have struggled with this thought lately as well, as we think about have our forth and last child. Do I do it and live the dream in my head of many children and the giving my family the life I never had, or do I stop, even though I we want another, only because I am tired and want some me time back. It seems so selfish of me to even need this. And you're right. You absolutely cannot let any part of your mothering go. Mothering eats at my patience and tests me again and again, but ultimately, I believe I am striving to raise amazing people, and how complete they do make us, my heart so full with love.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, always, for your words. They help me so.

Your photos always make me pause and remember all the wonderful years I've had being a mom and how much I miss having kids at home. Thanks.
