I have this deep unquenchable passion for parenting not because I feel like I do it so well but simply because since the birth of my first child my life has never been more changed in a moment-by-moment way.
I have laughed harder then I have ever in my life and I have cried harder too.
I have learned things about myself that I never knew existed.
I have patience that last a lifetime and then in a split second that patience’s is gone and I have anger that stirs in me a powerful scary feeling.
I guess the thing that draws me to mom issues or parenting issues is that it has been the one thing that I have been determined to never presume I have the answers to anything but always willing to ask the questions to find the best possible path and to be available to my children. I have done more soul searching since becoming a mom and find often it is me who has to do the changing and growing before I can ask it of my children.
Parenting comes in so many stages too. All of which are exhausting on there own, but you add more then one child at a different stage then look out!
I can’t ever imagine not having this task of parenting and hesitantly wait for the day that they are all grown, and have children of there own so that they might experience this expression called parenting.
I have so much to be thankful for in my life and most certainly my children are much of what I have to be thankful for.
