Sorry I have been absent a few days. Well, since thursday, I think.
The days are busier when the fella is home. We are more rushed, there is more to do, I guess - I hope, or otherwise I feel busier for no reason!
But I just wanted to say that since I started this change of focus, the way I see my kiddo's has really changed. I've begun looking for the positive in them, but I at first thought I would just find one thing a day - and now I find my brain competing with itself to figure out 'which awesome thing' to write about. It really has changed me from seeing all things as a struggle, to seeing 'most' things as awesome. As amazing parts of thier little personalities. I see what used to drive me nuts, as now being a sign of thier developmental milestones.
And honestly, I think everyone should try it, even if just for two days a week.
that's so great! i have been really feeling the need for something lately. i've even been thinking of making up some atheist kind of prayer ritual. i just need to stop, focus on goodness for some specified moments in my day. i am just altogether too ungrateful. and, when i take the time to enjoy and appreciate my kids, EVERYthing goes so much smoother.
ReplyDeletei can imagine it perfectly, but isn't it ironic that you have less time when your man is home?
