Accept the moment

Something a friend told me had me going down memory lane and revisiting some very sweet recollections. I never seemed to notice how enjoyable things were at that time - never have i learnt to live in the moment. So even when my son was the cutest little toddler , all I could harp about was the sleepless nights (for 2 years) and his overactive nature. When I look at those photos , I hurt inside thinking of all the times I was harsh at him because I was tired - I still do that. If I just enjoyed those years, my son wouldn't be having the difficulties he's having now.

I got back to work after more than 5 years of staying at home raising two kids. It did wonders for my confidence but the work was not interesting and the commute took too much time. So all I could think of in the office is the work I had waiting for me at home and vice-versa. Now that I quit and am in the last 10 days of my work life there, I remember all the little triumphs and none of the difficulties.

I have learnt though - and hopefully will remember when I start my next venture :-)

Firstly

I decided to write. My guru (a.k.a Froggie ;-)) told me to become a superior specimen of the female species ....to go out on the net and let flow the words in the hope of finding myself somewhere along the way. Thus I begin.
