I realized after someone else had remarked on her absence of
blogging that I haven’t blogged in a long time myself. About 3 ½ years since my last post it's almost the
same age as my son, hmmmm… coincidence?
While having a child leaves you less free time, less shower
time, less me time it offers plenty of more family time, soft moments, hairy
times, funny situations, night time wake ups, and hurried mornings, and taking
several minutes some days to convince a 3 year old it is time to head out the
door.
However it gives you more
perspective and appreciation for when you get those free moments and also makes
you appreciate when said 3 year old listens perfectly and almost races out the
door to head to school. You realize your
efforts have meaning and you are putting great effort into the life of another
individual—remarkable really.
With all of this though, despite some of the changes in our
lives, it adds more to us as humans really than we could have ever imagined. Lots more laughs, lots more tears, and sometimes
disagreements but mostly more love to go around in general. It’s worth the absence of blogging I think.
