Life is a Carousel

I have to stop trying to figure out how to slow it down

or make it stop

And simply cherish the ride

even if I get dizzy more than I’d like

Dizzy AND nauseated. Sometimes the carousel is bumpy and fast, but even in those moments there are things worth cherishing–and remembering.

Beautiful photo of you two.

Beautiful picture. And what’s a little dizzy spell that lasts 20 years? :)

Amen. Of course, the last time we encountered a carousel, I let Bella ride all by herself … which was great until she realized she was riding all by herself and had a full on meltdown that required the entire ride stop so she could be safely removed.

Moral of the story: Be there. Ride it with them. Because stepping off causes more heartache than you know. ;)

It is quite dizzy-ing, nauseating, debilitating in some ways; but oh, the feeling when the ride is over, the sense of sticking it out, through the yuck and beauty!

What a beautiful picture! What we all strive for in our everydays!

Oh, yes. That’s been an almost lifelong struggle for me, at least literally — when I was about your boy’s age, my sister and I screamed and cried for our lives on the carousel. And now I say to myself, of actual carousels and of life: please, just relax and enjoy the ride.

great analogy! I get less dizzy when I am focusing on the ride itself. When I try to see everything that I think I’m missing…that’s when I get sick. Thanks for the reminder!

It is as if all the cliches are actually 100% TRUE. Time flies by so very fast! This too shall pass, so grab hold of that ride with both hands tight. Let your hair fly in the wind and your heart keep in rhythm to the beats of motherhood.

ENJOY the ride!

Great picture of the two of you guys!
