Great blog! And I totally agree with Vicki’s comments…so touching, so real, so raw and so spot-on. Damn, you’re good.

Thank you for releasing some ancient tears, and for allowing me to see that indeed, I am not alone as a wife, mother and human being.

“Ignorant before the heavens of my life,
I stand and gaze in wonder. Oh the vastness
of the stars. Their rising and descent. How still.
As if I didn’t exist. Do I have any
share in this? Have I somehow dispensed with
their pure effect? Does my blood’s ebb and flow
change with their changes? Let me put aside
every desire, every relationship
except this one, so that my heart grows used to
its farthest spaces. Better that it live
fully aware, in the terror of its stars, than
as if protected, soothed by what is near.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke

Love conquers all. Thank you for sharing, Kati. Your insights are inspiring; so well expressed. Blessed are we as we remember that He does not give us more than we can handle.

God hold you three close to His heart today and always.

Ya, that time in the morning thing is nuts. My husband thinks if we just get up earlier it will be better. I think it will just make for more time to be wasted and lost somewhere! Thanks for reading. I sincerely appreciate it 🙂

What does happen to time in the morning before school? It seems manageable and like there’s enough of it to accomplish all things at first, and then it is gone — and I’m not dressed, and I need mascara, and shoes. Child is freaking out that they might be late so I must leave NOW and carry straight on to work where I will spend an entire work day stuck looking like… well… this. And somehow this is everyone else’s fault and not mine, even though I will not say so out loud. I could relate to your morning SO much!

Really well-written. Thanks for sharing.

Kay, this is beautiful. The doubts, the ups, the downs, the sorrows, the joys…they step on our feet when they’re little, and step on our hearts when their grown. All in all its a ride I wouldn’t change for the world, and neither would you.

Much love,
J
