Okay, so if I state the obvious and declare my gratitude for the
boodiful bubby with the cutest button nose and pouty little lips
- are you going to close the page, roll your eyes and never return??
(Or smile an evil smile, knowing this delirium can't last much longer!)
Thought so.
How about - refreshment - then?
I'm so ridiculously grateful for how 'refreshing' the past ten days have been.
Contrary to every expectation I had prior (tut tut)
- Missi's birth and early days have proved seriously and surprisingly uplifting.
Before now, I (guiltily) felt that the newborn stage was something to be endured out of love,
so that I could have the joy that is children.
Luckily for Hubby, I didn't catch onto how incredibly and completely beautiful this stage can be until now.
We simply don't have the time to have ten more now!
Seeing and feeling our family foursome take on this new dynamic
has had a lovely combined sedative/euphoric effect on me.
People would part with some serious dosh for a hit of what I'm having right now.
The absence of all that self doubt, negative self talk, fear of failure and
the pressure to prove my worth as a Mum has been an absolute joy these last weeks.

And of course, catching a few zzzzzs somewhere in the mix has also been a welcome refreshment too.
I guess the question is - in such a relaxed, blissful state of mind - will I ever get the urge to run again???
What are you grinning and grateful for this fine Friday?
