It’s Wednesday, which means we are halfway through the week and, today, just about halfway through the month. I’m not sure how I feel about that yet. My kids have started talking about the fact that Christmas is only 6 weeks away. I feel like I spend most of my days watching my kids grow in disbelief; willing them, with every power I can muster, to stop growing up so fast. I remember being in the trenches of babyhood and having days that felt like 10 years, with people telling me how fast it goes and me not really understanding. I loved having babies. There were hard days, don’t get me wrong, but I so love being a mother, that I have only vague recollections of the tough days. I would love to go back in time and just rock each of my babies just one more time. But, since that isn’t possible, I’ll be thankful for the near-tangible memories instead. I’ve decided that those ratty old baby blankets and stuffed toys that kids keep forever are really for the moms – so we can hold them and be taken back to the days when we had no time for showers or hot food – some of the best days of my life.
Anyway…on that note, I made this download for you (and me) as a reminder to be thankful for the little things that make life so amazing.
