My days are slower now.
The pace is set by how quickly my youngest can walk.
We must have moments where we stop whatever we're doing and go play outside,
or read a book,
or have a snack.
I remember the days when I was employed.
When I sat at the computer and multi-tasked all day.
When I accomplished my whole "to do" list by 10:00 a.m.
Days, when it didn't matter if someone asked me to do extra things...
because I knew I'd have time.
Those days were easier in so many ways...
but, much less rewarding.
I didn't get the hugs, kisses, and smiles like I get now.
I may have accomplished more,
but it was much less significant than what I accomplish now.
I love being a Mom!
this post was written before we left for Ethiopia and added two more to our family. Somehow it didn't get published, and reading it now makes me smile. I would no longer describe my days as "slow", rather "very fast!", but they are still just as nice...and I love being a Mom x4 now!
