I’m supposed to walk more
sit less
prepare the house
eat fresh
continue to chase the kids
enjoy the mess
except,
I mean, yet
I’ve lost myself
within this 24/7
But I love them, so…

Even when they’re older, you’ll gladly lose yourself for a day or two.

Enjoy them while you have them under your roof — knowing that, if you do your job ‘right,’ you’ll work yourself right out of a job one day! I haven’t seen Domer since Christmas. Sigh.

Planning on working myself out of a job. A beautiful moment of letting them both take flight is in my future. I adore being a mother. I pray I’ve done a few things right. Thanks, Debbie. I hope you see Domer soon. ♡

I’m sure they’d both agree you’ve been a fine mom, Audrey. Keep them covered in prayer, and they’ll be okay!

To lose oneself is knowing who you are. K

The depth you offer here I sense comes from learning much along the way. To finally know who we are inevitably means we lose who we thought we were.
Am I comfortable with her? Or am I running..
Thank you for this thought flow. Much to ponder.
A real delight to see you again. I read your poems a few nights ago. You always make me think, K.B.

We all lose ourselves in the little ones. Good one, Audrey.

Yes, mine aren’t so little anymore, it’s high time I set myself up to succeed after they leave me. A few short years left.
Thanks, John
