It's the little things...

Yes...it is the little things that are making it nigh impossible to blog right now. The little mouths needing fed, the little ears needing to be read to, the little bodies needing to be snuggled, the little boo-boos to be kissed, the little clothes to be washed (and folded, then washed again before ever making it into drawers). There are moments in my day when I consider these things to be constant little distractions from the things I want to do. The things I want to do like read a book, drink a latte while it is still hot, start a sewing project, post countless updates (so needed!) to my blog, have a moment of peace and quiet all to myself...

But then I'm reminded that these little distractions are the biggest blessings in small form. For, I have little mouths to feed, little ears to read to, little bodies to snuggle, little boo-boos to kiss and yes, even little clothes to wash and fold and hopefully put away some day. Not so very long ago this was my heart's grandest desire, to be a mother, to have children, to spend my days nurturing them into little people. Funny how when we are in the midst of living out our dream, we can lose sight of the joy the dream once brought us and become incontent with the reality of it all.

So, in an effort to appreciate fully the little things in my days right now (for everything has its season and all seasons eventually come to an end), and give them the best parts of me, I'm not quite as focused on the blog as I was before. I hope to get back into little updates now and again as I continue to adjust to life with two, but it isn't going to be something I rush. I'm going to enjoy this wonderful season of little things before me while it is here, before I get to a point when the little things are gone and I realize I missed them.
