You know, I'm going to have to post on my feelings at the moment. Yes, I am a Mommy. Yes, I am a wife. Yes, I am a working woman. I'm not sure if they go in that order... But I am all of those things.

I love life. I love FEELING alive. What makes me feel alive...? It depends. My husband can make me feel alive. Sometimes. My children can make me feel alive, but usually they just exhaust me. I love them so much, but babies of all ages are so much work. It makes me really appreciate what my parents did when I was a baby. Stability is one of the most precious things that a parent can offer a child, even when the child does not cherish it. Husbands are also a lot of work. But they are so worth it. At least, mine is.

Beauty makes me feel alive. A rainbow cast from a corporate window onto a corporate marble floor can make me feel alive. A yellowing leaf on a fall tree. A sparkly red paint job on an old car. A baby's smile. Beautiful things can bring happiness. And happiness is life. I love feeling alive.
