Day 2344 | Mother’s Day

I’ve been a mom for ten years. That’s a lot of years. The woman next to me? Forty-five years.

We can learn so much from other moms, can’t we? And yet, we try to pave our path on our own. We try to prove we can do it and be everything to everyone. I struggle with that and yet find it hard to ask for help at the same time.

Momming is hard work. But the best work I do. I’m thankful everyday for the tiny humans that call me mom. And I’ll do everything in my power to model kindness and compassion and empathy in hopes that even a bit of that sinks in to the next generation. The world could use more kindness, don’t you think?

To my mom, and my husband’s mom, and all the moms reading this: you’re doing a great job. Your sacrifices and efforts are recognized and appreciated.
