Do you ever just sit back in amazement of all that has happened to you since becoming a mother? We evolve in so many ways. It seems like just yesterday we were announcing our adoptions and pregnancies. We take care of every last detail right until our child’s arrival, and then that little person enters our life. We are forever changed.
Appreciate how you evolve.
Mothering is messy. We have good days and bad days. Sometimes we feel like Supermom, and others, well, not so much. Maybe you can relate. Perhaps you had a certain image of how your daily life would be. You look at yourself today and think either, “I’m there! I’ve got this!” or “I’m so far away from that, and it’s really frustrating.”
Keep your eyes on the bigger picture.
It’s so important to sit back and savor all that you have become. Take a seat by the window, sip some tea, and snuggle in with yourself. We grow right along with our children, and none of us are perfect. Life moves so fast, but you have to pause and soak it all in.
As you evolve in your parenting life, take some time now and then to think of the little things. Those moments that make you feel like you’ve got this. Count your blessings. It’s as easy as ABC.
