My seven blessings are pictured here. I have been mothering roughly half of my life and the newness and joy of it never seems to fade. From my 18 year old to my 11 month old each of them the greatest gift, each of their smiles I have stored up in a mothers memory.
When I think of Mothers Day I am brought back to the moment I knew I was to be expecting each of them. I can recall the emotions I felt each time, the circumstances in which they came to be and the anticipation of awaiting their arrival. My heart is full of these special moments. He walked at 10 1/2 months, she got her first tooth when she was 5 months, he got his first real ouchie by skinning his nose, her first words were "night night"...
I surely will never fully understand how can it be that we are so blessed as mere women to be vessels of life and holders of something so precious as the spark of a tiny spirit, the creators of tiny fingers and toes. I just want to say on this a day for mothers, thank you my babies for letting me be yours.

ReplyDeleteTransposed from my journal so you don't miss it:
ReplyDelete@HoneyB No! Jump in!! We're not all working
towards a single goal, just separate goals
we've set for ourselves. So set a good, oh, 23
day goal for yourself and come play!!
And I really love EA Sports active. I have wii fit
as well, but that was very game-like and the
wii board hates me. Whereas Active is really
exercises vs games (though theres some sports
stuff). You have your trainer, and you do
different workouts everyday. You start with a
30 day challenge. It shows you videos how to
do all the exercise before you start. You pick
your intensity level based upon how many
calories you want to burn. You can customize
the workouts before you do them. I
recommend it. How is the biggest loser one?
Does Jillian Michaels yell at you alot ;)
