Rambling...

I wanted to share this VIDEO with you. I'm constantly having to remind myself to live my life every day, slow down, relax and relish in the loveliness of my children. They are such a blessing. I remember when I was a kid I wanted to be older, now as I get older I have so much more to look back on and sometimes it makes me sad to see it flying by. I see the most important people to me getting older and that scares me and makes me sad as well. I see my precious little girl growing up and that scares me as well. I am nervous about raising a daughter because I realize how incredibly important the relationship between a mother & daughter is and how it could go wrong so easily. I want to be her best friend, through life, even the teenage years. I want her to hold me when her heart gets broken, confide in me with life's challenges, and always see me for who I am - the mother who would give my life for hers. I want her to always know that I will accept her for who she is, no matter what path of life she takes and how I may disagree with her. I want to run through the fields with her looking back, smiling at me. I love being a mother, that is what I have always wanted to be. This song/video made me think about life & motherhood and how both of them are a privilege. I constantly need to remind myself to relish in daily life.
