It’s unbelievable, isn’t it? The juxtaposition of moods and emotions from day to day, from moment to moment. It is what exhausts me. But then, I’m happy for it at the same time. The ever-moving ups and downs of my life, often too quick for me to even take pause. But this is what the blog allows me to do: pause. And thank goodness for that. And for all of you who respond.

Fighting and bleeding one day and warm heart the next, huh? Amazing what motherhood is, isn’t it?

Yeah. Grass. Greener. I hear you.
We all know this–deep down. But still we wish. Escape. Fantasize. Dream.
On a weekly basis I’m sure that some ONE THING will make life easier, happier, or better in some way. I fixate on it. And then life changes. I change. The kids change. And I let it go, picking up some OTHER thing the following week.
Inner peace: I’m working toward it. On most days, I’m happy to say, I think I have it..or some version of it anyway.

While I have no words of wisdom, your writing – as usual – has moved me.

I am certainly guilty of imagining a different life from time to time…ok, every other day. Escapism comes in many forms for me…reading, writing, staring off into space, but sometimes with fantasy…fantasy that I am far away, sun-soaked, carefree, or just burdened with different cares than the ones I have now. Somehow, that’s appealing. Realistically, I know the grass is not always greener elsewhere, but yeah…totally know where you’re coming from.
