A strange and wonderful feeling!
ReplyDeleteYour format is really appealing. I like both how it looks and how it reads.
Yes, it is definitely wonderful!
DeleteThank you so much for stopping by, and for your kind words!!
Oh, how you captured motherhood right here.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely in the tear inducing way - the very best kind, that is!
Thank you, so much.
DeleteThere is something about the spec of knowledge a writer gets that someone, somewhere, read the words they have strung together and felt something. Something Wonderful.
Thanks again for stopping by over here and leaving me your thoughts!!
Stunning! I love this!
ReplyDeleteOh, Alison, thank you so much! :)
DeleteI said exactly the same about my kids to my husband just yesterday.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we just notice the miracle don't we? Kids are amazing.
Love your words and creativity.
Sometimes, yes...I am noticing as I get older that I seem to be noticing these little miracles more often. I am sometimes just "struck" by things...kids, the sky, shit I never thought I would notice screams out to me. I am sometimes so aware of my own mortality...
DeleteThank you so much for stopping by, and for leaving me your kind words!!
You know, I have those kinds of thoughts so often with a newborn, but rarely take a step back to marvel at how amazing it is that we made these kids when they're older. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with the fact that at 35, I often feel 13 in my mind...sometimes I just step back and think "wow. I did this." or "really? this is my Life?" and it all feels so incredibly surreal.
DeleteI appreciate you stopping by, and taking the time to leave me a comment!!
Just awesome. It hits me too sometimes, out of the blue... Pretty amazing what we are capable of!!!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! For some reason I cannot reply to individual comments tonight?? Very frustrating, but anyhow, I want to thank you, Susi, for stopping by the blog, checking out my post, and leaving me your words!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is amazing indeed. Us women? We Rock...
You have captured it perfectly! Me, mom, unnoticed? Please say it isn't so. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI know...*sigh*
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by!!
Fantastic. Absolutely True. And absolutely beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe went on vacation to the backwoods of Maine this past week. I stood there, watching my girls hiking in front of me, playing and swimming in the lake, swinging on a rope, totally oblivious to me behind them. Not needing me to hold their hand or make sure they didn't go under. I was an observer of 3 people I made. It was the most amazing feeling. The love, the pride, the awe. I was so thankful that this is my life.
Thanks Cindy!!
DeleteI was hoping you were on vacation. So happy to hear that you had an amazing time, what a GREAT way to end the summer.
I love, in an obsessive way, walking behind my family. I do it every.time. we go to the farm, and have way too many pics of the kids, or the kids and the Hubsters walking in between rows of apple trees or peach trees or the pumpkin patch...but, I just love it, for all the reasons you mention. :)
Thanks for catching up on my posts ( luckily for you, I was a major blog slacker last week ) and as always, thank you so very much for your words!!
