Mother's Day

In light of Mother's Day...



I am so thankful to be a Mother. Being a Mother is not all that I ever thought it would be. It is not all cuddling beautiful smiling babies and bathing perfectly behaved toddlers. It's not being a mommy duck with all of my little ducklings following my every move while I guide them perfectly down the path of life. In fact, it is the complete opposite. Now when I think of that wonderful word, "Mommyhood," one word comes to mind right away-- Adventure.

Adventure is something that I have always loved. When I was a child, anything out of the ordinary was a great adventure! From exploring the woods next door, to taking long drives to nowhere with the family, I lived for adventure. I used to struggle so much with resentment towards motherhood not fulfilling my dreams, but now... I see it as a wonderful adventure. Sometimes the adventure is exciting like when I would make discoveries. Sometimes it's tough like climbing that hiking trail to get to the top of a steep hill.

I am just so thankful to be on this path and to be able to enjoy the Adventure of being a mommy!
