I haven't had a lot of time lately to productively write and complete a worthwhile post. Ideas come to me at random moments normally while I am unable to capture them on paper or via my cyber pen. I say to myself that I will remember those quick flashes of insights but I never do *sigh*. So to put something on the board for 2008 in my quest to post every seven days, I am including the statement below which I got from a book I just finished. It took me 9 weeks to read the 400 pages *sigh* as I was only able to read 10-12 pages a few nights a week before I succumbed to my daily fatigue.
From "Because I said So" by Kate Moses
"Learning to surf is a lot like learning to mother. I have the gear, I understand the theory and I have occasional success. But the ocean doesn't stay still and neither do kids. Stable ground exists but only under powerful ever changing currents. Paddling out takes strength, persistence and the ability to roll under the crashing waves. I have days where I don't think I'm going to make it only to forget my worries as the sun shines in lighting up my kid's faces making me smile. I have the rest of my life to get this parenting thing down, meanwhile I am wowed by my kids laughter , amazed at their brilliance and the love that surrounds me"
