TEN. YEARS.
Where did those years go? Can it really be ten whole years since then?
I'm happy to say that in those years I paid my dues. I don't find myself planning to be away from the fam this December 31st. But I have found myself thinking though. About the passage of time and the milestones that mark this past decade.
And the 8 years since I met my firstborn.
And the 6 years since I met Son the Younger.
And the past year since the Diva has come to join us.
I find myself chuckling like an old woman reminiscing. It's been a full and happy decade, for the most part. There's been too much drama for my liking, but that's all part of the journey, right?
I choose to focus on the good memories.
I'm so glad I started blogging, because now my memories are right here for me to look back on. And for my extended family and friends and kids to look back on.
Inspired by Scary Mommy, I've decided to make a list of a post each month where the words formed themselves - sometimes through tears, sometimes through laughter - to capture the state of my soul at that point in time.
August: Carefree Abandon
A promise to my children
September: Small victory
Losing my job. And finding my peace.
October: Confessions
The post I wrote because I knew I couldn't face my son's pediatrician and raise my doubts out loud
November: Momma always said....
The "punishment" that is growing up and having kids of my own
December: On swimming... and being washed up on the shore
The lessons that guide and inspire me
To 2010 and making more memories.
Cheers!
