Food For Thought


Washington Post today.... posts a childless friend of mine in Facebook. “ Is it worth having children? Would you do it all over again?” asks the author. I am not shocked to see the responses, questioning how anyone would approach to raising a family in the manner that the viewer has.  It almost sounds like they are referring to buying an expensive car, changing jobs, even getting married...Wow...

I am in the very challenging, emotionally rewarding, at times heart-breaking, but mostly breathtaking and definitely bringing-out-the-best-in-me process of raising two wonderful children that God has blessed me with. I am a MOTHER and ever since I have been a mother, I wonder whether being anything else in life (daughter, friend, wife) has been as dazzling.


So I am not even bothering to answer that question; nevertheless I am posing my own...  How has being a parent altered the way I view the world, myself and loved ones? Not an easy question. Not a short answer.  

I will ponder on this now...

"Babies like Wednesday's: The day on which most babies are born is Wednesday. But for over 15 years, it was Tuesday."
