I really did need to hear this. I love the part about taking really good care of yourself. Sometimes we as mothers get so wrapped up in taking care of our kids, homes, husbands, etc. that we lose track of taking care of ourselves. And the part about forgiving yourself and making it right if you need to....that was mad deep yo....I'm just so excited to know that other ppl get it lol!! Wow. I really did need to hear this.

Why would I think raising kids would be? I started a garden this summer (notice I didn't say I "have" a garden...lol) and I was worn out at how much work it took just to get it going. Now it's a patch of weeds 'cause I just couldn't hang. I'm thinking, motherhood is just like that. Takes a lot of work in the beginning and lots of constant care and and then after that, you can look and see what's grown. Kids are a lot like tomatoes in that respect. LOL. @Lindsey – I have to remind myself that it’s not easy. Why would I think raising kids would be?

Especially the "there is no easier" part. I often get hung up that thought (er, wish). It's nice to hear a reminder that I have to enjoy THIS moment. I totally needed to hear this today.

Words everyone should follow. Thanks for sharing. My favorite line is this one: Forgive yourself quickly, make it right if you need to, and move on.

Thank you for sharing Her words with us, I really needed to read them, and furthermore, I could stand to internalize them; make that whole passage my daily motto.... in fact, why don't I just go ahead and write them down on posted notes and get to posting, lol.
