THIS hits home. So many times there are things that I wanted to do with my kids, places I wanted to take them, experiences that I wanted to share with them....which I just didnt have time to do. The responsibility of raising them is a weight on my shoulders that I do not take lightly, nor is it a burden that I dont cherish. There have been many days when I didnt get work done that needed to get done, or there were things that I forgot to do - people who were counting on me. And then there are just the fun, frilly things that I wish I had time to do --- BUT, this puts it into perspective. I DO make an impact, and even when I feel like Ive failed or forgotten things - when I am exhausted and am not even sure which thing I am crying over, my kids are still learning from me, my friends and family still love me, and I am still blessed with having met some amazing people through PC. I appreciate encouraging messages like these, because it reminds me to focus on the positive things that Ive accomplished. It gives me the drive to move forward, and it reminds me that even the repetitive things that I do, like cooking breakfast for my kids, or tucking them in at night, reading a book, and saying our prayers, might be some of the most special things that they remember when they are older.
