Some days I feel completely overwhelmed by the love I have for these babies of mine.
I live in a constant state of awe and amazement at who they are and what they know, how quickly they grow and how completely responsible I am for who they will become. They challenge me every day, they surprise me every day, they frustrate and test me no end!
I yell too much, I'm grumpy too often, and I'm busy all of the time. The challenging times are more frequent than the easy-breezy happy contented times.
Longed for moments of perfect harmony are fleeting but they are there, more often than I realised, and its so important to recognise them and to treasure them.
Letting go of all the need to do's was my motto for this year, to relax and enjoy the moments. It's a constant work in progress, but days like today when my little girl put her arms around me and kissed my chest with her soppy lips, I actually cried, the happiest tears and the fullest heart..
Beautifully written and so very true.. Thanks for the reminder Mel :)
