Insight

A good friend posted this comment on my "Clouds" post: "It is amazing the insight you still have with your kids. You seem to be very aware of what they are saying and trying to teach you. I feel that I have lost some of that insight. Maybe it is because everything has happened so fast with my kids, and I am just trying to keep up with the day to day happenings and schedules. Anyway, I envy you and wish you continued appreciation for what your kids do and say!" It got me thinking. While I had tremendous insight in the first months of HL's life, I soon lost it. When AW came along, I was too busy to think much about it. Then when Hubby quit his job and went back to school, our lives were thrown into chaos scheduling-wise, so again, I had no time to think about it. It was when I started blogging that insight came back into my life. Blogging forces me to sit still and just think about things. A lot of times I start a post simply as a journal item; something I want to remember about mine or my children's lives. But as I write it, it transforms into so much more. Perhaps this is why I enjoy blogging so much.... Thank you D for your nice comment and for opening my eyes a little. :)
