Still waiting to figure out what I'll be when I grow up.elteehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16245148323328711725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378992491634762056.post-33557253782409179532012-06-26T10:34:47.322-07:002012-06-26T10:34:47.322-07:00I hear ya.

My kids are 7 and 9. I often cry myself to sleep at night missing the days when they were 3 and 5. <br /><br />I am getting older and so are they. It's hard to accept. But what always makes me feel better is looking at what is great about now. For example, I LOVE watching my 9 year old pitch in baseball. I LOVE that they give themselves breakfast. I miss the old days, but I'm trying to appreciate the now.<br /><br />LIfe is a progression. YOu sort of figure it out as you go along. Are you where you are supposed to be right now? Am I? Who knows. We just need to navigate through it all and make decisions as we go along.<br /><br />Beautifully written post.Steph at The Healthy Momhttp://thehealthymom.net/2012/06/25/what-is-a-good-mom/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6378992491634762056.post-16904829997919215822012-06-26T05:40:08.480-07:002012-06-26T05:40:08.480-07:00Beautifully written.

And I love this sentiment: "Be real with enough people and if you're lucky they can keep hold of you."Christiehttp://www.randomreflectionz.comnoreply@blogger.com
